Data reception is double buffered. Data is shifted serially into the SPI shift register during the transfer and
is transferred to the parallel SPI Data Register after the last bit is shifted in.
After the 16th (last) SCK edge:
• Data that was previously in the master SPI Data Register should now be in the slave data register
and the data that was in the slave data register should be in the master.
• The SPIF flag in the SPI Status Register is set indicating that the transfer is complete.
Figure 9-9 is a timing diagram of an SPI transfer where CPHA = 0. SCK waveforms are shown for
CPOL = 0 and CPOL = 1. The diagram may be interpreted as a master or slave timing diagram because
the SCK, MISO, and MOSI pins are connected directly 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 pin of the master
must be either high or reconfigured as a general-purpose output not affecting the SPI.
Figure 9-9. SPI Clock Format 0 (CPHA = 0)
In slave mode, if the SS line is not deasserted between the successive transmissions then the content of the
SPI Data Register is not transmitted, instead the last received byte is transmitted. If the
SS line is deasserted
for at least minimum idle time (half SCK cycle) between successive transmissions then the content of the
SPI Data Register is transmitted.
