Abstract
A serial peripheral interface of an integrated circuit including multiple pins and a clock pin is provided. The pins are coupled to the integrated circuit for transmitting an instruction, an address or a read out data. The clock pin is coupled to the integrated circuit for inputting multiple timing pulses. The plurality of pins transmit the instruction, the address or the read out data at rising edges, falling edges or both edges of the timing pulses.

A serial peripheral interface of an integrated circuit, the serial peripheral interface comprising:
- a plurality of pins coupled to the integrate circuit for transmitting an instruction, an address or a read out data:
- and
- a clock pin coupled to the integrated circuit for inputting a plurality of timing pulses;
- wherein at least one of the plurality of pins transmit the instruction, the address or the read out data at both rising edges and falling edges of the timing pulses.
A data transmitting method applied to a serial peripheral interface of an integrated circuit, the serial peripheral interface including a plurality of pins and a clock pin, the method comprising the steps of:
- inputting a plurality of timing pulses by the clock pin;
- and
- transmitting an instruction, an address or a read out data by at least one of the plurality of pins at both rising edges and falling edges of the timing pulses.
