6 Functional Description
The following sections provide a detailed description of the MC13201 functionality, including operating
modes, and the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI).
6.1 MC13201 Operational Modes
The MC13201 has a number of operational modes that allow for low-current operation. Transition from
the Off to Idle mode occurs when RST
is negated. Once in Idle, the SPI is active and is used to control the
IC. Transition to Hibernate and Doze modes is enabled via the SPI. These modes are summarized, along
with the transition times, in Table 7. Current drain in the various modes is listed in Table 3, DC Electrical
Characteristics.

SPI timing parameters are referenced to Figure 8.

6.2 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
The host microcontroller directs the MC13201, checks its status, and reads/writes data to the device
through the 4-wire SPI port. The transceiver operates as a SPI slave device only. A transaction between
the host and the MC13201 occurs as multiple 8-bit bursts on the SPI. The SPI signals are:
1. Chip Enable (CE) - A transaction on the SPI port is framed by the active low CE input signal. A
transaction is a minimum of 3 SPI bursts and can extend to a greater number of bursts.
2. SPI Clock (SPICLK) - The host drives the SPICLK input to the MC13201. Data is clocked into the
master or slave on the leading (rising) edge of the return-to-zero SPICLK and data out changes
state on the trailing (falling) edge of SPICLK.
NOTE
For Freescale microcontrollers, the SPI clock format is the clock phase
control bit CPHA = 0 and the clock polarity control bit CPOL = 0.
3. Master Out/Slave In (MOSI) - Incoming data from the host is presented on the MOSI input.
4. Master In/Slave Out (MISO) - The MC13201 presents data to the master on the MISO output.
A typical interconnection to a microcontroller is shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7. SPI Interface
Although the SPI port is fully static, internal memory, timer and interrupt arbiters require an internal clock
(CLK
core
), derived from the crystal reference oscillator, to communicate from the SPI registers to internal
registers and memory.
6.2.1 SPI Burst Operation
The SPI port of an MCU transfers data in bursts of 8 bits with most significant bit (MSB) first. The master
(MCU) can send a byte to the slave (transceiver) on the MOSI line and the slave can send a byte to the
master on the MISO line. Although an MC13201 transaction is three or more SPI bursts long, the timing
of a single SPI burst is shown in Figure 8.
