PRODUCTION DATA.
In reverse channel SPI operation, the deserializer samples the slave select (SS), SPI clock (SCLK) into the internal oscillator clock domain. Upon detection of the active SPI clock edge, the deserializer also samples 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 SS value. The SS must 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 buffered, the data may be regenerated in bursts. Figure 21 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 delivers the additional data bits.
For reverse channel SPI reads, the SPI master must wait for a round-trip response before generating the sampling edge of the SPI clock. This operation is similar to forward channel mode. Note that at most one data/clock sample is sent per back channel frame.
For both reverse-channel SPI writes and reads, the SPI_SS signal must be deasserted for at least one back-channel frame period.
