shows the National Microwire frame format with 8-bit command words for single and
back-to-back frame transmissions.
8.4.2
Parallel Data Formats for FIFO Storage
Data in the FIFOs is stored with one 16-bit value per data sample with no regard to the format’s
data word length. In each 16-bit field, the stored data sample is right-justified, the word’s least
significant bit is stored in bit 0, and unused bits are packed as zeroes above the most significant bit.
Logic in the SSPC automatically left-justifies data in the transmit FIFO so the sample is properly
transmitted on SSPTXD in the selected frame format.
8.5
FIFO Operation and Data Transfers
Transmit and receive serial data use independent FIFOs. FIFOs are filled or emptied by
programmed I/O or DMA bursts that the DMAC initiates. Bursts may be 4 or 8 half-words in
length during transmission or reception.
