ADuC812

SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE

The ADuC812 integrates a complete hardware Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) on-chip. SPI is an industry standard synchronous serial interface that allows eight bits of data to be synchronously transmitted and received simultaneously, i.e., full duplex.

It should be noted that the SPI pins are shared with the I2C interface and therefore the user can only enable one or the other interface at any given time (see SPE in SPICON below). The SPI Port can be configured for Master or Slave operation and typically consists of four pins, namely:

MISO (Master In, Slave Out Data I/O Pin), Pin #19

The MISO (master in slave out) pin is configured as an input line in master mode and an output line in slave mode. The MISO line on the master (data in) should be connected to the MISO line in the slave device (data out). The data is transferred as byte wide (8-bit) serial data, MSB first.

MOSI (Master Out, Slave In Pin), Pin #27

The MOSI (master out slave in) pin is configured as an output line in master mode and an input line in slave mode. The MOSI line on the master (data out) should be connected to the MOSI line in the slave device (data in). The data is transferred as byte wide (8-bit) serial data, MSB first.

SCLOCK (Serial Clock I/O Pin), Pin #26

The master serial clock (SCLOCK) is used to synchronize the data being transmitted and received through the MOSI and MISO data lines. A single data bit is transmitted and received in each SCLOCK period. Therefore, a byte is transmitted/received after eight SCLOCK periods. The

SCLOCK pin is configured as an output in master mode and as an input in slave mode. In master mode the bit-rate, polarity and phase of the clock are controlled by the CPOL, CPHA, SPR0 and SPR1 bits in the SPICON SFR (see Table XII). In slave mode the SPICON register will have to be configured with the phase and polarity (CPHA and CPOL) of the expected input clock. In both master and slave mode the data is transmitted on one edge of the SCLOCK signal and sampled on the other. It is important therefore that the CPHA and CPOL are configured the same for the master and slave devices.

SS(Slave Select Input Pin), Pin #12

The Slave Select (SS) input pin is shared with the ADC5 input. In order to configure this pin as a digital input the bit must be cleared, e.g., CLR P1.5.

This line is active low. Data is only received or transmitted in slave mode when the SS pin is low, allowing the ADuC812 to be used in single master, multislave SPI configurations. If CPHA = 1 then the SS input may be permanently pulled low. With CPHA = 0 then the SS input must be driven low before the first bit in a byte wide transmission or reception and return high again after the last bit in that byte wide transmission or reception. In SPI Slave Mode, the logic level on the external SS pin (Pin #13), can be read via the SPR0 bit in the SPICON SFR.

The following SFR registers are used to control the SPI interface.
