The clock polarity select bit (CLKPOLARITY) and the clock phase select bit (CLK_PHASE) control four different clocking schemes on the SPICLK pin. CLKPOLARITY selects the active edge, either rising or falling, of the clock. CLK_PHASE selects a half-cycle delay of the clock. The four different clocking schemes are:
The selection procedure for the SPI clocking scheme is shown in Table 19-3. Examples of these four clocking schemes relative to transmitted and received data are shown in Figure 19-7.
| SPICLK Scheme | CLKPOLARITY(1) | CLK_PHASE(1) |
|---|---|---|
| Rising edge without delay | 0 | 0 |
| Rising edge with delay | 0 | 1 |
| Falling edge without delay | 1 | 0 |
| Falling edge with delay | 1 | 1 |
The SPICLK symmetry is retained only when the result of (SPIBRR + 1) is an even value. When (SPIBRR + 1) is an odd value and SPIBRR is greater than 3, SPICLK becomes asymmetrical. The low pulse of SPICLK is one LSPCLK cycle longer than the high pulse when CLKPOLARITY bit is clear (0). When CLKPOLARITY bit is set to 1, the high pulse of the SPICLK is one LSPCLK cycle longer than the low pulse, as shown in Figure 19-8.
