16.5.7 SSP Data Register (SSDR)

SSDR, shown in Table 1 6-9, is a single address location that read and write data transfers access.
SSDR represents two physical registers: the first is temporary storage for data on its way out
through the transmit FIFO. The other register is temporary storage for data coming in through the
receive FIFO.
As the system accesses the register, FIFO control logic transfers data automatically between the
registers and FIFOs as fast as the system move s it. Unless attempting a write to a full transm it
FIFO, data in the FIFO shifts up or down to accommodate the new word(s). Status bi ts show users
whether the FIFO is full, above the programmable trigger threshold, below the programmable
trigger threshold or empty.
For transmit data transfers, the register can be written by the system processor anytime it falls
below its trigger threshold when using programmed I/O.
When a data size of less than 32-bits is selected, do not left-justify data written to the transmit
FIFO. Transmit logic left-justifies th e data and ignores any unused bits. Received data of less than
32-bits is automatically right-justified in the receive FIFO.
When the SSP port is programmed for the Microwir e* protocol and the size of the Transmit data i s
eight bits (SSCR1[MWDS] cleared), the most significant bits are ignore d. Similarly, if the size for
the Transmit data is 16 bits (SSCR1[MWDS] set), the most significant 16 bits are ignored.
SSCR0[DSS] controls the Receive data size.
Both FIFOs are cleared when the port is reset, or by clearing SSCR0[SSE].
These are read/write registers. Ignore reads from reserved bits. Write zeros to reserved bits.
