16.4.10 Loopback Mode
When 1 is written to the SPLP bit in the pin control register (SPPCR), this module shuts off the
path between the MISO pin and the shift register, and between the MOSI pin and the shift register,
and connects the input path and the output path (reversed) of the shift register. This is called
loopback mode. When a serial transfer is executed in loopback mode, the transmit data becomes
the received data. Figure 16.24 shows the configuration of the shift register input/output paths for
the case where this module in master mode is set in loopback mode.
