With the SBI a slave reports its busy status to the master by driving the SB0 line low.

The busy signal is output following the acknowledge signal output by the master or slave. Busy signal setting/release is performed in synchronization with the fall of SCK. When the busy signal is released the master automatically terminates output of the SCK serial clock.

When the busy signal is released and the ready signal sate is entered the master can start the next transfer.
