33.14.6 Restrictions on Clock Synchronous Transmission (Clock Synchronous Mode
and Simple SPI Mode)
When the external clock source is used as a synchronization clock, the following restrictions apply.
(1) Start of transmission
Update TDR by the CPU, DMAC, or DTC and wait for at least five PCLK cycles before allowing the transmit clock to
be input (refer to
Figure 33.76).
(2) Continuous transmission
(a) Write the next transmit data to TDR or TDRL before the falling edge of the transmit clock (bit 7) (refer to Figure
33.76
).
(b) When updating TDR after bit 7 has started to transmit, update TDR while the synchronization clock is in the
low-level period, and set the high-level width of the transmit clock (bit 7) to four PCLK cycles or longer (refer to
Figure 33.76).

Set t  5 cycles of the PCLK before transmission is started when the external clock is used.
Set t
 4 cycles of the PCLK if TDR is updated after bit 7 is started to transmit when continuous
transmission is performed on the external clock.
