Timeline for Since SPI contains data and clock, this makes it "source synchronous" doesn't it?

But different chips require different protocols for the data sent to and from them using SPI. Even these are usually very simple, like "You send me an 8-bit address in lsb first order, then I send you back an 8-bit data byte in lsb first order". But one chip might keep sending back data from next address if you keep sending it clocks. Another might use 16-bit addresses. A third one might require a command byte followed by an address byte before it sends anything back, etc. | |
