be cleared, and SPIF in SPSR will become set. The user will then have to set MSTR to
re-enable SPI Master mode.
• Bit 3 – CPOL: Clock Polarity
When this bit is written to one, SCK is high when idle. When CPOL is written to zero,
SCK is low when idle. Refer to Figure 59 and Figure 60 for an example. The CPOL func-
tionality is summarized below:
Table 48. CPOL Functionality
• Bit 2 – CPHA: Clock Phase
The settings of the clock phase bit (CPHA) determine if data is sampled on the leading
(first) or trailing (last) edge of SCK. Refer to Figure 59 and Figure 60 for an example.
The CPHA functionality is summarized below:
Table 49. CPHA Functionality
• Bits 1, 0 – SPR1, SPR0: SPI Clock Rate Select 1 and 0
These two bits control the SCK rate of the device configured as a Master. SPR1 and
SPR0 have no effect on the Slave. The relationship between SCK and the Oscillator
