Transmission formats
During an SPI transmission, data is simultaneously transmitted (shifted
out serially) and received (shifted in serially). A serial clock line
synchronizes shifting and sampling on the two serial data lines. A slave
select line allows individual selection of a slave SPI device; slave
devices that are not selected do not interfere with SPI bus activities. On
a master SPI device, the slave select line can optionally be used to
indicate a multiple-master bus contention.
Clock phase and
polarity controls
Software can select any of four combinations of serial clock (SCK) phase
and polarity using two bits in the SPI control register (SPCR). The clock
polarity is specified by the CPOL control bit, which selects an active high
or low clock and has no significant effect on the transmission format.
The clock phase (CPHA) control bit selects one of two fundamentally
different transmission formats. The clock phase and polarity should be
identical for the master SPI device and the communicating slave device.
In some cases, the phase and polarity are changed between
transmissions to allow a master device to communicate with peripheral
slaves having different requirements.
NOTE: Before writing to the CPOL bit or the CPHA bit, the SPI should be
disabled by clearing the SPI enable bit (SPE).

Figure 4 shows an SPI transmission in which CPHA is ‘0’. 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 at ‘0’, 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
