Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)

MOTOROLA

The clock phase (CPHA) control bit selects one of two fundamentally

different transmission formats. The clock phase and polarity should be

identical for the master SPI device and the communicating slave device.

In some cases, the phase and polarity are changed between

transmissions to allow a master device to communicate with peripheral

slaves having different requirements.

NOTE:

Before writing to the CPOL bit or the CPHA bit, disable the SPI by

clearing the SPI enable bit (SPE).

20.6.2 Transmission Format When CPHA = 0

Figure 20-4 shows an SPI transmission in which CPHA is logic 0. 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 out

(MISO), and master out/slave in (MOSI) pins are directly connected

between the master and the slave. The MISO signal is the output from

the slave, and the MOSI signal is the output from the master. The SS line

is the slave select input to the slave. The slave SPI drives its MISO

output only when its slave select input (SS) is at logic 0, so that only the

selected slave drives to the master. The SS pin of the master is not

shown but is assumed to be inactive. The SS pin of the master must be

high or must be reconfigured as general-purpose I/O not affecting the

SPI. See Mode Fault Error. When CPHA = 0, the first SPSCK edge is the

MSB capture strobe. Therefore, the slave must begin driving its data

before the first SPSCK edge, and a falling edge on the SS pin is used to

start the slave data transmission. The slave’s SS pin must be toggled

back to high and then low again between each byte transmitted as

shown in Figure 20-5.
