Freescale Semiconductor Serial Peripheral Interface Module (SPI) 295
SPMSTR — SPI Master Bit
This read/write bit selects master mode operation or slave mode 
operation. Reset sets the SPMSTR bit.
1 = Master mode
0 = Slave mode
CPOL — Clock Polarity Bit
This read/write bit determines the logic state of the SPSCK pin 
between transmissions. (See Figure 14-4 and Figure 14-6.) To 
transmit data between SPI modules, the SPI modules must have 
identical CPOL values. Reset clears the CPOL bit.
CPHA — Clock Phase Bit
This read/write bit controls the timing relationship between the serial 
clock and SPI data. (See Figure 14-4 and Figure 14-6.) To transmit 
data between SPI modules, the SPI modules must have identical 
CPHA values. When CPHA = 0, the SS pin of the slave SPI module 
must be set to logic 1 between bytes. (See Figure 14-12.) Reset sets 
the CPHA bit.
SPWOM — SPI Wired-OR Mode Bit
This read/write bit disables the pullup devices on pins SPSCK, MOSI, 
and MISO so that those pins become open-drain outputs.
1 = Wired-OR SPSCK, MOSI, and MISO pins
0 = Normal push-pull SPSCK, MOSI, and MISO pins
SPE — SPI Enable
This read/write bit enables the SPI module. Clearing SPE causes a 
partial reset of the SPI. (See 14.10 Resetting the SPI.) Reset clears 
the SPE bit.
1 = SPI module enabled
0 = SPI module disabled
SPTIE— SPI Transmit Interrupt Enable
This read/write bit enables CPU interrupt requests generated by the 
SPTE bit. SPTE is set when a byte transfers from the transmit data 
register to the shift register. Reset clears the SPTIE bit.
1 = SPTE CPU interrupt requests enabled
0 = SPTE CPU interrupt requests disabled
