be greater or equal to half of the DSPISCK period.

27.7.4.5 Continuous Selection Format

Some peripherals must be deselected between every transfer. Other peripherals must remain selected
between several sequential serial transfers. The continuous selection format provides the flexibility to
handle both cases. The continuous selection format is enabled by setting the DTFR[CONT].
When the CONT bit = 0, the DSPI drives the asserted chip select signals to their idle states in between
frames. The idle states of the chip select signals are selected by the DMCR[PCSIS] field. Figure 27-19
shows the timing diagram for two 4-bit transfers with CPHA = 1 and CONT = 0.
Figure 27-19. Example of Non-Continuous Format (CPHA = 1, CONT = 0)
When the CONT bit = 1 and the DSPICSn signal for the next transfer is the same as for the current transfer,
the DSPICSn signal remains asserted for the duration of the two transfers. The delay between transfers
