Figure 48. CPHA/SS Timing
As shown in Figure 46, the first SCK edge is the MSB capture strobe. Therefore, the
Slave must begin driving its data before the first SCK edge, and a falling edge on the SS
pin is used to start the transmission. The SS pin must be toggled high and then low
between each Byte transmitted (Figure 48).
Figure 47 shows an SPI transmission in which CPHA is ā1ā. In this case, the Master
begins driving its MOSI pin on the first SCK edge. Therefore, the Slave uses the first
SCK edge as a start transmission signal. The SS pin can remain low between transmis-
sions (Figure 48). This format may be preferred in systems having only one Master and
only one Slave driving the MISO data line.
Queuing transmission For an SPI configured in master or slave mode, a queued data byte must be transmit-
ted/received immediately after the previous transmission has completed.
