Bit 17 – RXEN: Receiver Enable

Receiver Enable

Writing '0' to this bit will disable the SPI receiver immediately. The receive buffer will be flushed, data from ongoing receptions will be lost and STATUS.BUFOVF will be cleared.

Writing '1' to CTRLB.RXEN when the SPI is disabled will set CTRLB.RXEN immediately. When the SPI is enabled, CTRLB.RXEN will be cleared, SYNCBUSY.CTRLB will be set and remain set until the receiver is enabled. When the receiver is enabled CTRLB.RXEN will read back as '1'.

Writing '1' to CTRLB.RXEN when the SPI is enabled will set SYNCBUSY.CTRLB, which will remain set until the receiver is enabled, and CTRLB.RXEN will read back as '1'.

This bit is not enable-protected.

ValueDescription
0 The receiver is disabled or being enabled.
1 The receiver is enabled or it will be enabled when SPI is enabled.

Bits 15:14 – AMODE[1:0]: Address Mode

Address Mode

These bits set the slave addressing mode when the frame format (CTRLA.FORM) with address is used. They are unused in master mode.

AMODE[1:0] Name Description
0x0 MASK ADDRMASK is used as a mask to the ADDR register
0x1 2_ADDRS The slave responds to the two unique addresses in ADDR and ADDRMASK
0x2 RANGE The slave responds to the range of addresses between and including ADDR and ADDRMASK. ADDR is the upper limit
0x3 - Reserved

Bit 13 – MSSEN: Master Slave Select Enable

Master Slave Select Enable

This bit enables hardware slave select (SS) control.

ValueDescription
0 Hardware SS control is disabled.

This bit enables wake up when the slave select (SS) pin transitions from high to low.

ValueDescription
0 SS low detector is disabled.
1 SS low detector is enabled.

Bit 6 – PLOADEN: Slave Data Preload Enable

Slave Data Preload Enable

Setting this bit will enable preloading of the slave shift register when there is no transfer in progress. If the SS line is high when DATA is written, it will be transferred immediately to the shift register.
