5.2.2. Transmitter Logic

The core transmitter logic consists of a transmit holding register (txdata) and transmit shift register, each n bits wide. The register width n is specified at system generation time, and can be any integer value from 8 to 32. After a host peripheral writes a value to the txdata register, the value is copied to the shift register and then transmitted when the next operation starts.

The shift register and the txdata register provide double buffering during data transmission. A new value can be written into the txdata register while the previous data is being shifted out of the shift register. The transmitter logic automatically transfers the txdata register to the shift register whenever a serial shift operation is not currently in process.

In host mode, the transmit shift register directly feeds the mosi output. In agent mode, the transmit shift register directly feeds the miso output. Data shifts out LSB first or MSB first, depending on the configuration of the SPI core.
