SPI Registers Control and status bits for the Serial Periph-

eral Interface are contained in registers SPCR (shown in

Table 4) and SPSR (shown in Table 5). The SPI data bits

are contained in the SPDR register. Writing the SPI data

register during serial data transfer sets the Write Collision

bit, WCOL, in the SPSR register. The SPDR is double buff-

ered for writing and the values in SPDR are not changed by

Reset.

Interrupt Registers The global interrupt enable bit and the

individual interrupt enable bits are in the IE register. In

addition, the individual interrupt enable bit for the SPI is in

the SPCR register. Two priorities can be set for each of the

six interrupt sources in the IP register.

Dual Data Pointer Registers To facilitate accessing exter-

nal data memory, two banks of 16-bit Data Pointer

Registers are provided: DP0 at SFR address locations

82H-83H and DP1 at 84H-85H. Bit DPS = 0 in SFR WCON

selects DP0 and DPS = 1 selects DP1. The user should

always initalize the DPS bit to the appropriate value before

accessing the respective Data Pointer register.

Power Off Flag The Power Off Flag (POF) is located at

bit_4 (PCON.4) in the PCON SFR. POF is set to “1” during

power up. It can be set and reset under software control

and is not affected by RESET.

Prescaler Bits for the Watchdog Timer. When all three bits are set to “0”, the watchdog timer has a nominal period of 16

ms. When all three bits are set to “1”, the nominal period is 2048 ms.

DPS

Data Pointer Register Select. DPS = 0 selects the first bank of Data Pointer Register, DP0, and DPS = 1 selects the

second bank, DP1

WDTRST

Watchdog Timer Reset. Each time this bit is set to “1” by user software, a pulse is generated to reset the watchdog

timer. The WDTRST bit is then automatically reset to “0” in the next instruction cycle. The WDTRST bit is Write-Only.

WDTEN

Watchdog Timer Enable Bit. WDTEN = 1 enables the watchdog timer and WDTEN = 0 disables the watchdog timer.
