4.2  VoSPI Channel 
The Lepton VoSPI protocol allows efficient and verifiable transfer of video over a SPI channel. The protocol is 
packet-based with no embedded timing signals and no requirement for flow control. The host (master) initiates 
all transactions and controls the clock speed. Data can be pulled from the Lepton (the slave) at a flexible rate. This 
flexibility is depicted in Figure 16, which shows the use of a relatively slow clock utilizing most of the available 
frame period as well as the use of a fast clock that bursts frame data. Once all data for a given frame is read, the 
master has the option to stop the clock and/or de-assert the chip select until the next available frame. 
Alternatively, the master can simply leave the clock and chip select enabled, in which case Lepton transmits 
discard packets until the next valid video data is available.
