In SPI communication, the controller transfers data by toggling the SPICLK signal. For both the peripheral and the controller, data is shifted out of the shift registers on one edge of the SPICLK and latched into the shift register on the opposite SPICLK clock edge. As a result, both devices send and receive data simultaneously. The application determines whether the data is meaningful or dummy data. There are three possible methods for data transmission:
The controller can initiate data transfer at any time because the controller controls the SPICLK signal. The application, however, determines how the controller detects when the peripheral is ready to broadcast data. The UNICOMM-SPI operates in either controller or peripheral mode. The CTL1.CP bit selects the operating mode and the source of the SPICLK signal.
