PRODUCTION DATA.
In reverse channel SPI operation, the deserializer samples the Slave Select (SS) and the SPI Clock (SCLK) in the internal oscillator clock domain. Upon detection of the active SPI clock edge, the deserializer can also sample the SPI data (MOSI). The SPI data samples are stored in a buffer to be passed to the serializer over the back channel. The deserializer sends SPI information in a back channel frame to the serializer. In each back channel frame, the deserializer sends an indication of the Slave Select value. The Slave Select should be inactive (high) for at least one back-channel frame period to ensure propagation to the serializer.
Because data is delivered in separate back channel frames and then buffered, the data may be regenerated in bursts. Figure 13 shows an example of the SPI data regeneration when the data arrives in three back channel frames. The first frame delivered the SS active indication, the second frame delivered the first three data bits, and the third frame delivered the remaining data bits.
For reverse-channel SPI reads, the SPI master must wait for a round-trip response before the master can generate the sampling edge of the SPI clock. This is similar to operation in forward channel mode. Note that each back channel frames sends out one data/clock sample.
For both reverse-channel SPI writes and reads, the SPI_SS signal should be deasserted for at least one back channel frame period.
