MOTOROLA Serial Peripheral Interface Module (SPI) 261
MODF generates a receiver/error CPU interrupt request if the error
interrupt enable bit (ERRIE) is also set. The SPRF, MODF, and OVRF
interrupts share the same CPU interrupt vector. MODF and OVRF can
generate a receiver/error CPU interrupt request. S ee Figure 13-10. I t is
not possible to enable MODF or OVRF indiv i dually to generate a
receiver/error CPU interrupt request. However, leaving MODFEN low
prevents MODF from being set.
In a master SPI with the mode fault enable bit (MODFEN) set, the mode
fault flag (MODF) is set if SS goes to logic 0. A mode fault in a master
SPI causes these events to occur:
• If ERRIE = 1, the SPI generates an SPI receiver/error CPU
interrupt request.
• The SPE bit is cleared.
• The SPTE bit is set.
• The SPI state counter is cleared.
• The data direction register of the shared I/O port regains control of
port drivers.
NOTE: To prevent bus contention with another master SPI after a mode fault
error, clear all SPI bits of the data direction register of the shared I/O port
before enabling the SPI.
When configured as a slave (SPMSTR = 0), the MODF flag is set if SS
goes high during a transmission. When CPHA = 0, a transmission begins
when SS goes low and ends once the incoming SPSCK goes back to its
idle level following the shift of the eighth data bit. When CPHA = 1, the
transmission begins when the SPSCK leaves its idle level and SS is
already low. The transmission continues until the SPSCK returns to its
idle level following the shift of the last data bit. See 13.6 Transmission
Formats.
NOTE: Setting the MODF flag does not clear the SPMSTR bit. Reading
SPMSTR when MODF = 1 will indicate a mode fault error occurred in
either master mode or slave mode.
When CPHA = 0, a MODF occurs if a slave is selected (SS is at logic 0)
and later unselected (SS is at logic 1) even if no SPSCK is sent to that
slave. This happens because SS at logic 0 indicates the start of the
transmission (MISO driven out with the value of MSB) for CPHA = 0.
