AC Waveforms
Four different timing waveforms are shown below. Waveform 1 shows the SCK signal
being low when CS makes a high-to-low transition, and waveform 2 shows the SCK sig-
nal being high when CS makes a high-to-low transition. In both cases, output SO
becomes valid while the SCK signal is still low (SCK low time is specified as tWL). Timing
waveforms 1 and 2 conform to RapidS serial interface but for frequencies up to 33 MHz
and are compatible with SPI Mode 0 and SPI Mode 3 respectively. Waveforms 1 and 2
are also compatible with inactive clock polarity low and inactive clock polarity high, since
the maximum specified frequency in that case is 33 MHz.
Waveform 3 and waveform 4 illustrate general timing diagram for RapidS serial inter-
face. These are similar to waveform 1 and waveform 2, except that output SO is not
restricted to become valid during the tWL period. These timing waveforms are valid over
the full frequency range (maximum frequency = 40 MHz) of the RapidS serial case.
