3.22 SPI Host Driver

Overview

The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) module is a synchronous serial interface useful for communicating with other peripheral or microcontroller devices. These peripheral devices can be serial EEPROMs, Shift registers, display drivers, Analog-to-Digital Converters and so on.

Features

  • Allows to setup multiple Host Configurations to interact with multiple clients having different configurations. SPIx_Open and SPIx_Close are the APIs to be used for selecting/switching between different Host configurations at run time.
  • Requested Speed , SPI Mode and Data Input Sample Point are configurable items for each Host Configuration table entry.
  • User can provide Custom Name for each Host Configuration table entry.
  • Calculated speed depends on the Bus Clock source which can be configured as part the the selected PLIB.
  • Supports Enhanced Buffer mode with communication width of 8 bit only.
  • Currently, only polling mode is supported.
