With most microcontroller SPI ports, it is required to
send groups of eight bits. It is also required that the
microcontroller SPI port be configured to clock out data
on the falling edge of clock and latch data in on the ris-
ing edge. Depending on how communication routines
are used, it is very possible that the number of clocks
required for communication will not be a multiple of
eight. Therefore, it may be necessary for the MCU to
send more clocks than are actually required. This is
usually done by sending ‘leading zeros’ before the start
bit, which are ignored by the device. As an example,
Figure 6-1 and Figure 6-2 show how the MCP3202 can
be interfaced to a MCU with a hardware SPI port.
Figure 6-1 depicts the operation shown in SPI Mode
0,0, which requires that the SCLK from the MCU idles

in the ‘low’ state, while Figure 6-2 shows the similar
case of SPI Mode 1,1 where the clock idles in the ‘high’
state.
As shown in Figure 6-1, the first byte transmitted to the
A/D Converter contains seven leading zeros before the
start bit. Arranging the leading zeros this way produces
the output 12 bits to fall in positions easily manipulated
by the MCU. The MSB is clocked out of the A/D Con-
verter on the falling edge of clock number 12. After the
second eight clocks have been sent to the device, the
MCU receive buffer will contain three unknown bits (the
output is at high impedance until the null bit is clocked
out), the null bit and the highest order four bits of the
conversion. After the third byte has been sent to the
device, the receive register will contain the lowest order
eight bits of the conversion results. Easier manipulation
of the converted data can be obtained by using this
method.
