If the QSSI is enabled and valid data is in the transmit FIFO, the start of transmission is signified
by the SSInFss master signal being driven Low, causing slave data to be immediately transferred
onto the SSInDAT1/SSInRX line of the master. The master SSInDAT0/SSInTX output pad is
enabled.
One-half period later, valid master data is transferred to the SSInDAT0/SSInTX line. Once both
the master and slave data have been set, the SSInClk master clock pin becomes Low after one
additional half SSInClk period, meaning that data is captured on the falling edges and propagated
on the rising edges of the SSInClk signal.
In the case of a single word transmission, after all bits of the data word are transferred, the SSInFss
line is returned to its idle High state one SSInClk period after the last bit has been captured.
However, in the case of continuous back-to-back transmissions, the SSInFss signal must be pulsed
High between each data word transfer because the slave select pin freezes the data in its serial
peripheral register and does not allow it to be altered if the SPH bit is clear. Therefore, the master
device must raise the SSInFss pin of the slave device between each data transfer to enable the
serial peripheral data write. On completion of the continuous transfer, the SSInFss pin is returned
to its idle state one SSInClk period after the last bit has been captured.
17.3.7.6 Freescale SPI Frame Format with SPO=1 and SPH=1
The transfer signal sequence for Freescale SPI format with SPO=1 and SPH=1 is shown in Figure
17-9 on page 1239, which covers both single and continuous transfers.
Note: This Freescale SPI frame format configuration is only available when operating in Legacy
SSI mode of operation.

Note: Q is undefined.
In this configuration, during idle periods:
■ SSInClk is forced High
■ SSInFss is forced High
■ The transmit data line SSInDAT0/SSInTX is tristated
■ When the QSSI is configured as a master, it enables the SSInClk pad
■ When the QSSI is configured as a slave, it disables the SSInClk pad
