13.2.2.5.1 TI Synchronous Serial Error Case Scenarios

When the SPI controller is configured for the TI synchronous serial protocol, while in slave mode, it responds to failure events. These failure events on slave select (SPI_X_SS[x]) and the slave clock (SPI_X_CLK) are described below:

  • Withdrawal of SPI_X_CLK: In this case, the device pauses and resumes on reasserting the clock.
  • Premature pulsing of slave select: If the slave select is pulsed during a data frame transmission, it will be ignored.
  • Disconnecting the slave select before a transfer: The transfer is not initiated unless the pulse is issued.
