Article Which SPI Mode is used by SigmaDSP Devices?

The SigmaDSP products (and most devices from Analog Devices with SPI ports) use SPI Mode 3, in which CPOL = 1 and CPHA = 1.

  • CPHA = 1: The data changes on the falling edge of the clock and is read/written on the rising edge of the clock.
  • CPOL = 1: When the bus is idle, the clock signal is high.
