6.2.2
Although the SPI port of an MCU transfers data in bursts of 8 bits, the MC13192 requires that a complete
SPI transaction be framed by CE, and there will be three (3) or more bursts per transaction. The assertion
of CE to low signals the start of a transaction. The first SPI burst is a write of an 8-bit header to the
transceiver (MOSI is valid) that defines a 6-bit address of the internal resource being accessed and
identifies the access as being a read or write operation. In this context, a write is data written to the
MC13192 and a read is data written to the SPI master. The following SPI bursts will be either the write
data (MOSI is valid) to the transceiver or read data from the transceiver (MISO is valid).
Although the SPI bus is capable of sending data simultaneously between master and slave, the MC13192
never uses this mode. The number of data bytes (payload) will be a minimum of 2 bytes and can extend to
a larger number depending on the type of access. After the final SPI burst, CE is negated to high to signal
the end of the transaction. Refer to the MC13192 Reference Manual, (MC13192RM) for more details on
SPI registers and transaction types.
