Transfers
For receive only transfers (transfer mode field (9:8) of the Control Register 0 = 10b), data transmitted from the
DW_apb_ssi to the external serial device is invalid, so a single dummy word is written into the transmit FIFO to begin the
serial transfer. The txd output from the DW_apb_ssi is held at a constant logic level for the duration of the serial
transfer. Data received from the external serial device into the DW_apb_ssi is pushed into the receive FIFO.
Figure 130 shows the FIFO levels prior to the beginning of a serial transfer and the FIFO levels on completion of the
transfer. In this example, two data words are received by the DW_apb_ssi from the external serial device in a continuous
transfer.

Transfers
For eeprom_read transfers (transfer mode field [9:8] of the Control Register 0 = 11b), opcode and/or EEPROM address
are written into the transmit FIFO. During transmission of these control frames, received data is not captured by the
DW_apb_ssi master. After the control frames have been transmitted, receive data from the EEPROM is stored in the
receive FIFO.
Figure 131 shows the FIFO levels prior to the beginning of a serial transfer and the FIFO levels on completion of the
transfer. In this example, one opcode and an upper and lower address are transmitted to the EEPROM, and eight data
frames are read from the EEPROM and stored in the receive FIFO of the DW_apb_ssi master.
