The acknowledge signal is a one-shot pulse, synchronized with the falling edge of SCK after the 8-bit data is
transferred. The signal can be synchronized with the SCK clock pulse at a desired position.
After sending the 8-bit data, the transmitting device checks whether the receiving device returns the acknowledge
signal. If the receiving device does not return the acknowledge signal within a certain period after the data is sent,
the device has not successfully received the data.
The 8-bit data following the command signal is defined as a command. The 8-bit data without the command signal
is defined as data. The use of the command and data can be determined according to the communication
specifications.
10.6.5 Acknowledge Signal (ACK)
The transmitting device and receiving device use the acknowledge signal to check whether the data is successfully
received.
