9. AC Waveforms
Two different timing diagrams 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 signal being high
when CS makes a high-to-low transition. Both waveforms show valid timing diagrams. The setup
and hold times for the SI signal are referenced to the low-to-high transition on the SCK signal.
Waveform 1 shows timing that is also compatible with SPI Mode 0, and Waveform 2 shows tim-
ing that is compatible with SPI Mode 3.
