* Not defined, but normally MSB of previous character received.
Four modes are used for data transfers. These modes correspond to combinations of a pair of
parameters called clock polarity (CPOL) and clock phase (NCPHA) that determine the edges
of the clock signal on which the data are driven and sampled. Each of the two parameters has
two possible states, resulting in four possible combinations that are incompatible with one
another. Thus a master/slave pair must use the same parameter pair values to communicate.
If multiple slaves are used and fixed in different configurations, the master must reconfigure
itself each time it needs to communicate with a different slave.
Table 39 shows the four modes and corresponding parameter settings.
