When the CONT bit = 1, the PCS signal remains asserted for the duration of the two
transfers. The Delay between Transfers (t
DT
) is not inserted between the transfers. The
following figure shows the timing diagram for two four-bit transfers with CPHA = 1 and
CONT = 1.

Figure 45-15. Example of continuous transfer (CPHA=1, CONT=1)
When using the module with continuous selection follow these rules:
• All transmit commands must have the same PCSn bits programming.
• The CTARs, selected by transmit commands, must be programmed with the same
transfer attributes. Only FMSZ field can be programmed differently in these CTARs.
