• Single data direction operation allows alternate function on MISO or MOSI pin
• Selectable LSB- or MSB-first data transfer
• Can be used with DMA
• Host operation:
  • Serial clock speed, f_SCK=1/t_SCK⁽¹⁾
  • 8-bit clock generator
  • Hardware controlled SS
• Client Operation:
  • Serial clock speed, f_SCK=1/t_SSCK⁽¹⁾
  • Optional 8-bit address match operation
  • Operation in all sleep modes
  • Wake on SS transition
