27.5 Signal Description

27.5.1 Overview

Table 27-1 lists the DSPI signals.

27.5.2 Detailed Signal Descriptions

27.5.2.1 DSPI Peripheral Chip Select/Slave Select (DSPICS0/SS)

In master mode, the DSPICS0 signal is a peripheral chip select output that selects which slave device the
current transmission is intended for.
In slave mode, the SS signal is a slave select input signal that allows an SPI master to select the DSPI as
the target for transmission.

27.5.2.2 DSPI Peripheral Chip Selects 2–3 (DSPICS[2:3])

DSPICS[2:3] are peripheral chip select output signals in master mode. In slave mode these signals are not
used.

27.5.2.3 DSPI Peripheral Chip Select 5/Peripheral Chip Select Strobe

(DSPICS5/PCSS)

When the DSPI is in master mode and the DMCR[PCSSE] bit is cleared, DSPICS5 is used to select the
slave device for which the current transfer is intended DSPICS5 is a peripheral chip select output signal.
PCSS provides a strobe signal that can be used with an external demultiplexer for deglitching of the n
signals. When the DSPI is in master mode and DMCR[PCSSE] is set, the PCSS provides the appropriate
timing for the decoding of the DSPICS[0,2,3] signals that prevents glitches from occurring.
This signal is not used in slave mode.
