Master SSP (MSSP) Module Overview
The Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) module is
a serial interface useful for communicating with other
peripheral or microcontroller devices. These peripheral
devices may be Serial EEPROMs, shift registers, dis-
play drivers, A/D converters, etc. The MSSP module
can operate in one of two modes:
• Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
• Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C)
- Full Master Mode
- Slave mode (with general address call)
The I2C interface supports the following modes in hard-
ware:
• Master mode
• Multi-master mode
• Slave mode
