Register Description
The following section describes the registers used for SPI operation using the USART.
21.8.1 UDRn – USART MSPIM I/O Data Register
The function and bit description of the USART data register (UDRn) in MSPI mode is identical to normal USART 
operation. See 
.
21.8.2 UCSRnA – USART MSPIM Control and Status Register n A
• Bit 7 – RXCn: USART Receive Complete
This flag bit is set when there are unread data in the receive buffer and cleared when the receive buffer is empty 
(i.e., does not contain any unread data). If the Receiver is disabled, the receive buffer will be flushed and 
consequently the RXCn bit will become zero. The RXCn Flag can be used to generate a Receive Complete 
interrupt (see description of the RXCIEn bit).
• Bit 6 – TXCn: USART Transmit Complete
This flag bit is set when the entire frame in the Transmit Shift Register has been shifted out and there are no 
new data currently present in the transmit buffer (UDRn). The TXCn Flag bit is automatically cleared when a 
transmit complete interrupt is executed, or it can be cleared by writing a one to its bit location. The TXCn Flag 
can generate a Transmit Complete interrupt (see description of the TXCIEn bit).
• Bit 5 – UDREn: USART Data Register Empty
The UDREn Flag indicates if the transmit buffer (UDRn) is ready to receive new data. If UDREn is one, the 
buffer is empty, and therefore ready to be written. The UDREn Flag can generate a Data Register Empty 
interrupt (see description of the UDRIE bit). UDREn is set after a reset to indicate that the Transmitter is ready.
• Bit 4:0 – Reserved Bits in MSPI mode
When in MSPI mode, these bits are reserved for future use. For compatibility with future devices, these bits 
must be written to zero when UCSRnA is written.
21.8.3 UCSRnB – USART MSPIM Control and Status Register n B
• Bit 7 – RXCIEn: RX Complete Interrupt Enable
Writing this bit to one enables interrupt on the RXCn Flag. A USART Receive Complete interrupt will be 
generated only if the RXCIEn bit is written to one, the Global Interrupt Flag in SREG is written to one and the 
RXCn bit in UCSRnA is set.
