19.2 Overview
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) allows high-speed synchronous data transfer between the
ATmega48A/PA/88A/PA/168A/PA/328/P and peripheral devices or between several AVR
devices.
The USART can also be used in Master SPI mode, see “USART in SPI Mode” on page 206. The
PRSPI bit in ”Minimizing Power Consumption” on page 43 must be written to zero to enable SPI
module.
