Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)

The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) represents a synchronous, bit serial 4-wire interface for full-duplex data

transfer. It’s primarily used here to communicate with an external EEPROM memory, which must fulfil the

requirements described below. The EEPROM is selectable in size from 1kByte to 32kByte in binary steps.

The SPI always operates in master mode, whereas the EEPROM works in slave mode. The bootloader controls

the SPI during system start up. After that it is available to the MCU for free programming.

Typical SPI connection to an EEPROM

Many EEPROMs provide a HOLD_N (hold protocol) pin and a WP_N pin (write protect), which must be held ‘1’,

otherwise the operation is blocked.

During startup phase, the bootloader takes control over the SPI and generates the read out sequence

automatically.

Key Features

Standard 4 wire synchronous serial interface (SI, SO, SC, S_N)

Master mode operation only

8-bit word length (variable transmit/receive word optional)

Shift clock SC high when idle

MSB is always transmitted first

Four selectable clocking schemes (clock idle state / clock phase)

Selectable SPI clock rate divider (from mcu_clk/2 to mcu_clk/65536)

Three maskable interrupts (transmission complete, overrun, collision)
