21.4 SPI Data Modes and Timing
There are four combinations of XCKn (SCK) phase and polarity with respect to serial data, which
are determined by control bits UCPHAn and UCPOLn. The data transfer timing diagrams are
shown in Figure 21-1. Data bits are shifted out and latched in on opposite edges of the XCKn
signal, ensuring sufficient time for data signals to stabilize. The UCPOLn and UCPHAn function-
ality is summarized in Table 21-2. Note that changing the setting of any of these bits will corrupt
all ongoing communication for both the Receiver and Transmitter.
