6.3 SSPn Data Register (SSP0DR - 0xE006 8008, SSP1DR - 0xE003 0008)

Software can write data to be transmitted to this register, and read data that has been

received.

0xE003 0004) bit description
Bit Symbol Value Description Reset
Value
0LBM
0
Loop Back Mode.
During normal operation.
0
1 Serial input is taken from the serial output (MOSI or MISO)
rather than the serial input pin (MISO or MOSI
respectively).
1 SSE
0
SSP Enable.
The SSP controller is disabled.
0
1 The SSP controller will interact with other devices on the
serial bus. Software should write the appropriate control
information to the other SSP registers and interrupt
controller registers, before setting this bit.
2MS
0
Master/Slave Mode.This bit can only be written when the
SSE bit is 0.
The SSP controller acts as a master on the bus, driving the
SCLK, MOSI, and SSEL lines and receiving the MISO line.
0
1 The SSP controller acts as a slave on the bus, driving
MISO line and receiving SCLK, MOSI, and SSEL lines.
3 SOD Slave Output Disable. This bit is relevant only in slave
mode (MS = 1). If it is 1, this blocks this SSP controller
from driving the transmit data line (MISO).
0
7:4 - Reserved, user software should not write ones to reserved
bits. The value read from a reserved bit is not defined. NA

Bit Symbol Description Reset Value
15:0 DATA Write: software can write data to be sent in a future frame to this
register whenever the TNF bit in the Status register is 1,
indicating that the Tx FIFO is not full. If the Tx FIFO was
previously empty and the SSP controller is not busy on the bus,
transmission of the data will begin immediately. Otherwise the
data written to this register will be sent as soon as all previous
data has been sent (and received). If the data length is less than
16 bits, software must right-justify the data written to this register.
Read: software can read data from this register whenever the
RNE bit in the Status register is 1, indicating that the Rx FIFO is
not empty. When software reads this register, the SSP controller
returns data from the least recent frame in the Rx FIFO. If the
data length is less than 16 bits, the data is right-justified in this
field with higher order bits filled with 0s.
