Bit 7 – SPIE1: SPI1 Interrupt Enable

SPI1 Interrupt Enable

This bit causes the SPI interrupt to be executed if SPIF bit in the SPSR Register is set and if the Global Interrupt Enable bit in SREG is set.

Bit 6 – SPE1: SPI1 Enable

SPI1 Enable

When the SPE bit is written to one, the SPI is enabled. This bit must be set to enable any SPI operations.

Bit 5 – DORD1: Data1 Order

Data1 Order

When the DORD bit is written to one, the LSB of the data word is transmitted first.

When the DORD bit is written to zero, the MSB of the data word is transmitted first.

Bit 4 – MSTR1: Master/Slave1 Select

Master/Slave1 Select

This bit selects Master SPI mode when written to one, and Slave SPI mode when written logic zero. If SS is configured as an input and is driven low while MSTR is set, MSTR will 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 – CPOL1: Clock1 Polarity

Clock1 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 1 and Figure 2 for an example. The CPOL functionality is summarized below:

0 Rising Falling
1 Falling Rising

Bit 2 – CPHA1: Clock1 Phase

Clock1 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 1 and Figure 2 for an example. The CPHA functionality is summarized below:

Bits 1:0 – SPR1 [1:0]: SPI1 Clock Rate Select

SPI1 Clock Rate Select

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 Clock frequency fosc is shown in the table below.
