20.4.7.1 Classic SPI Transfer Format (CPHA = 0)
The transfer format shown in Figure 20-34 is used to communicate with peripheral SPI slave devices 
where the first data bit is available on the first clock edge. In this format, the master and slave sample the 
SINx pins on the odd-numbered SCKx edges, and change the data on the SOUTx pins on the 
even-numbered SCKx edges. 
Figure 20-34. DSPI Transfer Timing Diagram (MTFE = 0, CPHA = 0, FMSZ = 8)
The master initiates the transfer by placing its first data bit on the SOUTx pin and asserting the appropriate 
peripheral chip select signals to the slave device. The slave responds by placing its first data bit on its 
SOUTx pin. After the t
CSC
 delay has elapsed, the master outputs the first edge of SCKx. This is the edge 
used by the master and slave devices to sample the first input data bit on their serial data input signals. At 
the second edge of the SCKx the master and slave devices place their second data bit on their serial data 
output signals. For the rest of the frame the master and the slave sample their SINx pins on the 
odd-numbered clock edges and changes the data on their SOUTx pins on the even-numbered clock edges. 
After the last clock edge occurs a delay of t
ASC
 is inserted before the master negates the PCS signals. A 
delay of t
DT
 is inserted before a new frame transfer can be initiated by the master.
For the CPHA = 0 condition of the master, TCF and EOQF are set and the RXCTR counter is updated at 
the next to last serial clock edge of the frame (edge 15) of Figure 20-34. 
For the CPHA = 0 condition of the slave, TCF is set and the RXCTR counter is updated at the last serial 
clock edge of the frame (edge 16) of Figure 20-34.
