36.8.2 SPI 
Mode 
Register
Name: SPI_MR
Addresses:
0xF0000004 (0), 0xF0004004 (1)
Access: 
Read-write 
This register can only be written if the WPEN bit is cleared in 
• MSTR:  Master/Slave Mode
0 = SPI is in Slave mode. 
1 = SPI is in Master mode.
• PS: Peripheral Select
0 = Fixed Peripheral Select.
1 = Variable Peripheral Select.
• PCSDEC: Chip Select Decode
0 = The chip selects are directly connected to a peripheral device.
1 = The four chip select lines are connected to a 4- to 16-bit decoder.
When PCSDEC equals one, up to 15 Chip Select signals can be generated with the four lines using an external 4- to 16-bit 
decoder. The Chip Select Registers define the characteristics of the 15 chip selects according to the following rules:
SPI_CSR0 defines peripheral chip select signals 0 to 3.
SPI_CSR1 defines peripheral chip select signals 4 to 7.
SPI_CSR2 defines peripheral chip select signals 8 to 11.
SPI_CSR3 defines peripheral chip select signals 12 to 14.
• MODFDIS: Mode Fault Detection
0 = Mode fault detection is enabled. 
1 = Mode fault detection is disabled.
• WDRBT: Wait Data Read Before Transfer
0 = No Effect. In master mode, a transfer can be initiated whatever the state of the Receive Data Register is.
1 = In Master Mode, a transfer can start only if the Receive Data Register is empty, i.e. does not contain any unread data. This 
mode prevents overrun error in reception.
• LLB: Local Loopback Enable
0 = Local loopback path disabled. 
1 = Local loopback path enabled 
LLB controls the local loopback on the data serializer for testing in Master Mode only. (MISO is internally connected on MOSI.)
