Abstract
An order in which bits for serial data are transmitted or received by a first device, integrated circuit (IC) or logic, is programmable to be either from most significant bit (MSB) to least significant bit (LSB) or from LSB to MSB. Therefore, when the first device is used with a second device, integrated circuit (IC) or logic, which can handle the serial data in only one order, the first device is programmed, or configured, to handle the serial data in the same order as the second device.
