19.4  Operation 
19.4.1  Transfer Clock 
A transfer clock can be selected from eight internal clocks and an external clock. When using this 
module, set the SCKS bit in SSCRH to 1 to select the SSCK pin as a serial clock. When the MSS 
bit in SSCRH is 1, an internal clock is selected and the SSCK pin is used as an output pin. When 
transfer is started, the clock with the transfer rate set by bits CKS2 to CKS0 in SSMR is output 
from the SSCK pin. When MSS = 0, an external clock is selected and the SSCK pin is used as an 
input pin. 
19.4.2  Relationship of Clock Phase, Polarity, and Data 
The relationship of clock phase, polarity, and transfer data depends on the combination of the 
CPOS and CPHS bits in SSMR. Figure 19.2 shows the relationship. When SSUMS = 1, the CPHS 
setting is invalid although the CPOS setting is valid. 
Setting the MLS bit in SSMR selects that MSB or LSB first communication. When MLS = 0, data 
is transferred from the LSB to the MSB. When MLS = 1, data is transferred from the MSB to the 
LSB.
