Functional Description
24.3.1.3.6 Polarity and Phase
McSPI supports four sub-modes of the SPI format transfer that depend on the polarity (POL) and the
phase (PHA) of the SPI serial clock (SPICLK). Table 24-5 and Figure 24-6 show a summary of the four
sub-modes. Software selects one of four combinations of serial clock phase and polarity.
Two consecutive SPI words for two different slave devices may go along with active SPICLK signal with
different phase and polarity.

Polarity (POL) Phase (PHA) SPI Mode Comments
0 0 mode0 SPICLK active high and sampling occurs on the rising edge.
0 1 mode1 SPICLK active high and sampling occurs on the falling edge.
1 0 mode2 SPICLK active low and sampling occurs on the falling edge.
1 1 mode3 SPICLK active low and sampling occurs on the rising edge.
