Spi Data Register (Spi_Dr) - ST STM32F207 Series Reference Manual

RM0033
Bit 3 UDR: Underrun flag
0: No underrun occurred
1: Underrun occurred
Note: This bit is not used in SPI mode.
Bit 2 CHSIDE: Channel side
0: Channel Left has to be transmitted or has been received
1: Channel Right has to be transmitted or has been received
Note: This bit is not used for SPI mode and is meaningless in PCM mode.
Bit 1 TXE: Transmit buffer empty
Bit 0 RXNE: Receive buffer not empty

Data received or to be transmitted.
The data register is split into 2 buffers - one for writing (Transmit Buffer) and another one for
reading (Receive buffer). A write to the data register will write into the Tx buffer and a read
from the data register will return the value held in the Rx buffer.
Depending on the data frame format selection bit (DFF in SPI_CR1 register), the data
sent or received is either 8-bit or 16-bit. This selection has to be made before enabling
the SPI to ensure correct operation.
For an 8-bit data frame, the buffers are 8-bit and only the LSB of the register
(SPI_DR[7:0]) is used for transmission/reception. When in reception mode, the MSB of
the register (SPI_DR[15:8]) is forced to 0.
For a 16-bit data frame, the buffers are 16-bit and the entire register, SPI_DR[15:0] is
used for transmission/reception.
