It shouldn't need it. I've implemented 8-bit SPI in software, with the
clock
disabled when it isn't needed.

Hi fellows,
I am interfacing an adc manufactured by TI with MSP 430F139.The ADC
uses SCLK from MSP to tranmit 16 bits of A to D .data serially.
MSP has an 8bit spi buffer so the SCLK will stop after exchanging
8 bit until its started again.The slight delay in between in the SCLK
exceeds the tolerable jitter limit.
Could someone help as how to supply continuous clock from MSP.
There is one more fundamental doubt about devices that Use SPI as an
interface: is the SCLK to be supplied continuously or only when data
needs to be exchanged,because all data sheets show a coontinuous SCLK
extending to infinity..?
Plz help
