Figure 6. SPI Interface
Although the SPI port is fully static, internal memory, timer, and interrupt arbiters require an internal clock
(CLKcore) derived from the crystal reference oscillator, to communicate from the SPI registers to internal
registers and memory.
6.2.1 SPI Burst Operation
The SPI port of an MCU transfers data in bursts of 8 bits with most significant bit (MSB) first. The master
(MCU) can send a byte to the slave (transceiver) on the MOSI line and the slave can send a byte to the
master on the MISO line. Although an MC13191 transaction is three or more SPI bursts long, the timing
of a single SPI burst is shown in Figure 6.
