Forum Post: LM96570 -- SPI message length

Hi Team, I am using an application with a custom SPI controller than accepts 8, 16 and 32 bit SPI responses. Some LM96570 messages are 22-bits. What would the expected behavior be if the controller tries clocking out 32-bits on a 22-bit message? Would this simply stuff 10 bits with 0 or 1? Or would there be unexpected results? Regards,
