Figure 20-4. Transmission Format (CPHA = 0)
Figure 20-5. CPHA/SS Timing
When CPHA = 0 for a slave, the falling edge of SS indicates the
beginning of the transmission. This causes the SPI to leave its idle state
and begin driving the MISO pin with the MSB of its data. Once the
transmission begins, no new data is allowed into the shift register from
the transmit data register. Therefore, the SPI data register of the slave
must be loaded with transmit data before the falling edge of SS. Any data
written after the falling edge is stored in the transmit data register and
transferred to the shift register after the current transmission.
20.6.3 Transmission Format When CPHA = 1
Figure 20-6 shows an SPI transmission in which CPHA is logic 1. The
figure should not be used as a replacement for data sheet parametric
information. Two waveforms are shown for SPSCK: one for CPOL = 0
and another for CPOL = 1. The diagram may be interpreted as a master
or slave timing diagram since the serial clock (SPSCK), master in/slave
