Figure 6. SPI Interface

Although the SPI port is fully static, internal memory, timer, and interrupt arbiters require an internal clock

registers and memory.

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.

SPI digital timing specifications are shown in Table 6.
