NOTE
The DW_apb_ssi does not support continuous sequential Microwire writes, where MDD = 1 and MWMOD = 1.
Figure 141 shows how the data and control frames are structured in the transmit FIFO prior to the transfer, also shown
is the value programmed into the MWCR register.

Microwire Transfer
(transmitting data
frame)
Continuous transfers occur as shown in Figure 142, with the control word for the next transfer following immediately
after the LSB of the current data word.

Continuous Microwire
Transfer (transmitting
data frame)
The only modification you need to make to perform a continuous transfer is to write more control and data words into
the transmit FIFO buffer, shown in Figure 143. This example shows two data words are written to the external serial
slave device.
