Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
Table 9-8. SPICTL Register Field Descriptions (continued)
Bit Field Type Reset Description
1 TALK R/W 0h
Transmit Enable
The TALK bit can disable data transmission (master or slave) by
placing the serial data output in the high-impedance state. If this bit
is disabled during a transmission, the transmit shift register
continues to operate until the previous character is shifted out. When
the TALK bit is disabled, the SPI is still able to receive characters
and update the status flags. TALK is cleared (disabled) by a system
reset.
Reset type: SYSRSn
0h (R/W) = Disables transmission:
- Slave mode operation: If not previously configured as a general-
purpose I/O pin, the SPISOMI pin will be put in the high-impedance
state.
- Master mode operation: If not previously configured as a general-
purpose I/O pin, the SPISIMO pin will be put in the high-impedance
state.
1h (R/W) = Enables transmission For the 4-pin option, ensure to
enable the receiver's SPISTEn input pin.
0 SPIINTENA R/W 0h
SPI Interrupt Enable
This bit controls the SPI's ability to generate a transmit/receive
interrupt. The SPI INT FLAG bit (SPISTS.6) is unaffected by this bit.
Reset type: SYSRSn
0h (R/W) = Disables the interrupt.
1h (R/W) = Enables the interrupt.
