5.2.5 SPI format with CPOL = 1,CPHA = 1

The transfer signal sequence for SPI format with CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1 is shown in
Figure 20–100, which covers both single and continuous transfers.
In this configuration, during idle periods:
The CLK signal is forced HIGH.
SSEL is forced HIGH.
The transmit MOSI/MISO pad is in high impedance.
If the SSP is enabled and there is valid data within the transmit FIFO, the start of
transmission is signified by the SSEL master signal being driven LOW. Master’s MOSI is
enabled. After a further one half SCK period, both master and slave data are enabled onto
their respective transmission lines. At the same time, the SCK is enabled with a falling
edge transition. Data is then captured on the rising edges and propagated on the falling
edges of the SCK signal.
After all bits have been transferred, in the case of a single word transmission, the SSEL
line is returned to its idle HIGH state one SCK period after the last bit has been captured.
For continuous back-to-back transmissions, the SSEL pins remains in its active LOW
state, until the final bit of the last word has been captured, and then returns to its idle state
as described above. In general, for continuous back-to-back transfers the SSEL pin is
held LOW between successive data words and termination is the same as that of the
single word transfer.
5.3 Semiconductor Microwire frame format
Figure 20–101 shows the Microwire frame format for a single frame. Figure 20–102
shows the same format when back-to-back frames are transmitted.
