9.0 MASTER SYNCHRONOUS
SERIAL PORT (MSSP)
MODULE
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, etc. The MSSP module can operate in one
of two modes:
• Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI™)
• Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C™)
