• After 8 SPI_CLK pulses from the first transmit byte (Command Byte transmitted):
- The first SPI cycle is complete, RXBF bit is asserted '1', and the SPINT interrupt is asserted, if enabled. The
data now contained in SPIRD - SPI RX_Data Register is invalid since the last cycle was initiated solely to
transmit command data to the slave. This particular slave device tri-states the SPDIN pin to the master while
it is accepting command data. This SPIRD data is ignored.
Note: External pull-up or pull-down is required on the SPDIN pin if it is tri-stated by the slave device.
- Once the first SPI cycle is completed, the SPI master takes the pending data in the TX_DATA register
(EEPROM address A15-A8) and loads it into the TX shift register. Loading the shift register automatically
asserts the TXFE bit, begins shifting the dummy data value onto the SPDOUT pin, and drives the SPI_CLK
pin. Data on the SPDIN pin is also sampled on each clock. Note: The particular slave device ignores address
A15-A13.
• Once the TXFE bit is asserted the SPI Master is ready to receive its next byte. Before writing the next TX_DATA
value, software must clear the RXBF status bit by reading the SPIRD - SPI RX_Data Register.
• Next, EEPROM address A7-A0 is written to the TX_DATA register. The SPI master automatically clears the TXFE
bit, but does not begin shifting this data value onto the SPDOUT pin. This byte will remain in the TX_DATA register
until the TX shift register is empty.
• After 8 SPI_CLK pulses from the second transmit byte (Address Byte (MSB) transmitted):
- EEPROM address A15-A8 has been transmitted to the slave completing the second SPI cycle. Once again,
the RXBF bit is asserted '1' and the SPINT interrupt is asserted, if enabled. The data now contained in SPIRD
- SPI RX_Data Register is invalid since the last cycle was initiated solely to transmit address data to the
slave.
- Once the second SPI cycle is completed, the SPI master takes the pending data in the TX_DATA register
(EEPROM address A7-A0) and loads it into the TX shift register. Loading the shift register automatically
asserts the TXFE bit, begins shifting the dummy data value onto the SPDOUT pin, and drives the SPCLK pin.
Data on the SPDIN pin is also sampled on each clock.
• Once the TXFE bit is asserted the SPI Master is ready to receive its next byte. Before writing the next TX_DATA
value, software must clear the RXBF status bit by reading the SPIRD - SPI RX_Data Register.
• Next, a dummy byte is written to the TX_DATA register. The SPI master automatically clears the TXFE bit, but
does not begin shifting this data value onto the SPDOUT pin. This byte will remain in the TX_DATA register until
the TX shift register is empty.
• After 8 SPI_CLK pulses, the third SPI cycle is complete (Address Byte (LSB) transmitted):
- EEPROM address A7-A0 has been transmitted to the slave completing the third SPI cycle. Once again, the
RXBF bit is asserted '1' and the SPINT interrupt is asserted, if enabled. The data now contained in SPIRD -
SPI RX_Data Register is invalid since the last cycle was initiated solely to transmit address data to the slave.
- Once the third SPI cycle is completed, the SPI master takes the pending data in the TX_DATA register
(dummy byte) and loads it into the TX shift register. Loading the shift register automatically asserts the TXFE
bit, begins shifting the dummy data value onto the SPDOUT pin, and drives the SPCLK pin. Data on the
SPDIN pin is also sampled on each clock.
• Once the TXFE bit is asserted the SPI Master is ready to receive its next byte. Before writing the next TX_DATA
value, software must clear the RXBF status bit by reading the SPIRD - SPI RX_Data Register.
• If only one receive byte is required, the host would not write any more value to the TX_DATA register until this
transaction completes. If more than one byte of data is to be received, another dummy byte would be written to the
TX_DATA register (one dummy byte per receive byte is required). The SPI master automatically clears the TXFE
bit when the TX_DATA register is written, but does not begin shifting this data value onto the SPDOUT pin. This
byte will remain in the TX_DATA register until the TX shift register is empty.
• After 8 SPI_CLK pulses, the fourth SPI cycle is complete (First Data Byte received):
- The dummy byte has been transmitted to the slave completing the fourth SPI cycle. Once again, the RXBF bit
is asserted '1' and the SPINT interrupt is asserted, if enabled. Unlike the command and address phases, the
data now contained in SPIRD - SPI RX_Data Register is the 8-bit EEPROM data since the last cycle was ini-
tiated to receive data from the slave.
- Once the fourth SPI cycle is completed, the SPI master takes the pending data in the TX_DATA register (if
any) and loads it into the TX shift register. This process will be repeated until all the desired data is received.
• The host software will read and store the EEPROM data value in SPIRD - SPI RX_Data Register.
