So you just need 8 bit clocks to receive a byte using the Frame Sync
and the data to send the byte. Do you need to provide more than 8
clocks? Can the transfer speed be almost any speed, as long as Frame
Sync is reliable?


How about the 8K period? If the master clock is slowed down in
proportion, can the chip work with 7.5K sample rate without significant
difference? I realize that there are filters, etc but if everything is
slowed down slightly all inproportion, looks like it should work almost
as well.

Thanks for the info, very much appreciated.

Well, I would initiate SPI with the clock low, and READIN or SENDOUT the
data from DR or to DR, with the SPI clock providing the bit clock. The
ss\ will be inverted to become the Frame Suync Pulse. Wouldn't that work?
