Transmission Formats
19.5.3 Transmission Format When CPHA = 1
Figure 19-5 shows an SPI transmission in which CPHA (SPCR) is logic 1. The figure should not be used
as a replacement for data sheet parametric information. Two waveforms are shown for SCK: one for
CPOL = 0 and another for CPOL = 1. The diagram may be interpreted as a master or slave timing
diagram since the serial clock (SCK), master in/slave out (MISO), and master out/slave in (MOSI) pins
are directly connected between the master and the slave. The MISO signal is the output from the slave,
and the MOSI signal is the output from the master. The SS line is the slave select input to the slave. The
slave SPI drives its MISO output only when its slave select input (SS) is low, so that only the selected
slave drives to the master. The SS pin of the master is not shown but is assumed to be inactive. The SS
pin of the master must be high or must be reconfigured as general-purpose I/O not affecting the SPI. (See
19.6.2 Mode Fault Error). When CPHA = 1, the master begins driving its MOSI pin on the first SPSCK
edge. Therefore, the slave uses the first SPSCK edge as a start transmission signal. The SS pin can
remain low between transmissions. This format may be preferable in systems having only one master and
only one slave driving the MISO data line.

19.5.4 Transmission Initiation Latency
When the SPI is configured as a master (SPMSTR = 1), transmissions are started by a software write to
the SPDR ($0012). CPHA has no effect on the delay to the start of the transmission, but it does affect the
initial state of the SCK signal. When CPHA = 0, the SCK signal remains inactive for the first half of the
first SCK cycle. When CPHA = 1, the first SCK cycle begins with an edge on the SCK line from its inactive
to its active level. The SPI clock rate (selected by SPR1–SPR0) affects the delay from the write to SPDR
and the start of the SPI transmission. (See Figure 19-6). The internal SPI clock in the master is a
free-running derivative of the internal MCU clock. It is only enabled when both the SPE and SPMSTR bits
(SPCR) are set to conserve power. SCK edges occur half way through the low time of the internal MCU
clock. Since the SPI clock is free-running, it is uncertain where the write to the SPDR will occur relative
to the slower SCK. This uncertainty causes the variation in the initiation delay shown in Figure 19-6. This
