19.2.5.2 Address Recognition

When the SPI slave is configured with address recognition, the first character in a transaction is checked for an address match. If there is a match, the MISO output is enabled and the transaction is processed. If the address does not match, the complete transaction is ignored.

If the device is asleep, it can be woken up by an address match in order to process the transaction.

Note: In master mode, an address packet is written by the spi_select_slave function if the address_enabled configuration is set in the spi_slave_inst_config struct.
