• The UCPHAn bit functionality is identical to the SPI CPHA bit.

• The UDORDn bit functionality is identical to the SPI DORD bit.

However, since the USART in MSPIM mode reuses the USART resources, the use of the

USART in MSPIM mode is somewhat different compared to the SPI. In addition to differences of

the control register bits, and that only master operation is supported by the USART in MSPIM

mode, the following features differ between the two modules:

• The USART in MSPIM mode includes (double) buffering of the transmitter. The SPI has no

buffer.

• The USART in MSPIM mode receiver includes an additional buffer level.

• The SPI WCOL (Write Collision) bit is not included in USART in MSPIM mode.

• The SPI double speed mode (SPI2X) bit is not included. However, the same effect is

achieved by setting UBRRn accordingly.

• Interrupt timing is not compatible.

• Pin control differs due to the master only operation of the USART in MSPIM mode.

A comparison of the USART in MSPIM mode and the SPI pins is shown in Table 18-4 on page

182.
