SSC clock.

Hi guys.

I'm interfacing a ST10F269 with a serial flash memory via SPI, and want to know if there is a way I can keep the clock going without transmitting anything. The reason I want to do this, is because to receive data from the flash memory, I need the clock running (duh), but I don't really want to keep on interrupting into a transmit function the whole time.

I hope I've explained myself clearly.

Thanks

Neil

Hello Vannezil,

It is not possible to keep clock running without transmitting (receive only).

In fact, transmission and reception of serial data is synchronized and takes place at the same time, so the same number of transmitted bit is also received. Furthermore, the clock is generated only when transmission is triggered.
