Network SSP Serial Port
clocks programmed in the field SSPSP[SFRMP]. The SSPSFRM remains asserted for the number
of half-clocks programmed within SSPSP[SFRMWDTH]. Four to 32-bits can be transferred per
frame. Once the LSB transfers, the SSPSCLK continues toggling based on the dummy stop field
(SSPSP[DMYSTOP]). SSPTXD either retains the last value transmitted or is forced to zero,
depending on the value programmed within the end of transfer data state field (SSPSP[ETDS]),
when the controller goes into idle mode, unless the SSP is disabled or reset (which forces SSPTXD
low). Refer to
Table 16-2 for more information.
With the assertion of SSPSFRM, receive data is simultaneously driven from the peripheral on
SSPRXD, MSB first. Data transitions on SSPSCLK based on the serial clock mode selected and
are sampled by the controller on the opposite edge. When the SSP is a master to the frame sync
(SSPSFRM) and a slave to the clock (SSPSCLK), at least three extra clocks are needed at the
beginning and end of each block of transfers to synchronize internal control signals (a block of
transfers is a group of back-to-back continuous transfers).
