3.6.1 SPI Slave Data Read Cycle

When in SPI mode, the timing of a read operation is shown in Figure 3.3

Figure 3.3 – SPI Slave Data Read Cycle.

From Start - SPI CS must be held high for the entire read cycle, and must be taken low for at least one

clock period after t he read is co mpleted. The first bit on SPI Data In is the R/W bit - inputting a ‘1’ here

a llows data to be read fro m the chip. The next bit is the address bit, ADD, which is used to indicate

whether the data register (‘0’) or the status register (‘1’) is read from. During the SPI read cycle a byte of

data will start being output on SPI Data Out on the next clock cycle after t he address bit, MSBAfterfirst.t

he data has been clocked out of the chip, t he status of SPI Data. Out should be checked to see if the

data read is new data. A ‘0’ level here on SPI Data Out means that the data read is new data. A ‘1’

indicates that the data read is old data, and the read cycle should be repeated to get new data.

Remember that CS must be held low for at least one clock period before being taken high again to

continue with the next read or write cycle.
