7.3.4 Signal Description
Table 28 shows the signals used to control the serial peripheral interface master.
7.3.5 Detailed Signal Descriptions
The following section provides detailed signal descriptions.
7.3.5.1 SPI_CK — SPI CLOCK
The serial clock synchronizes data transmission between master and slave devices. In a master MCU, the
SPI_CK pin is the clock output. In a slave MCU, the SPI_CK pin is the clock input. In full duplex operation,
the master and slave CSPIs exchange data in BITCOUNT serial clock cycles.
When enabled in the GPIO function select register, the CSPI controls data direction of the SPI_CK pin
regardless of the state of the GPIO data direction register of the shared I/O port.
7.3.5.2 MISO — SPI Master In/Slave Out
MISO is one of the two CSPI module pins that transmits serial data. In full duplex operation, the MISO pin
of the master CSPI module is connected to the MISO pin of the slave SPI module. The master CSPI
simultaneously receives data on its MISO pin and transmits data from its MOSI pin.
Slave output data on the MISO pin is enabled only when the SPI is configured as a slave. The CSPI is
configured as a slave when its MODE bit is logic zero and its SS_B pin is at logic zero. To support a
multiple-slave system, a logic one on the SS_B pin puts the MISO pin in a high-impedance state.
When enabled in the GPIO function select register the CSPI controls data direction of the MISO pin
regardless of the state of the GPIO data direction register of the shared I/O port.
7.3.5.3 MOSI — SPI Master Out/Slave In
MOSI is one of the two CSPI module pins that transmit serial data. In full duplex operation, the MOSI pin
of the master CSPI module is connected to the MOSI pin of the slave CSPI module. The master CSPI
simultaneously transmits data from its MOSI pin and receives data on its MISO pin.
When enabled in the GPIO function select register the CSPI controls data direction of the MOSI pin
regardless of the state of the GPIO data direction register of the shared I/O port.

MOSI
Master out slave in
This bidirectional signal is the TXD output signal from the data shift
register in master mode. In slave mode, MOSI is the RXD input to the
data shift register.
This bidirectional signal is the RXD input signal to the data shift register in
master mode. In slave mode, MISO is the TXD output from the data shift
register.
This bidirectional signal is the CSPI clock output in master mode. In slave
mode, SPI_CK is an input clock signal to the CSPI.
This bidirectional signal is an output in master mode and an input in slave
mode.
This input signal is used only in master mode. It will edge or level trigger a
CSPI burst if used.
