Module Overview
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a synchronous serial data link that provides communication with external
devices in master or slave mode.
The SPI is essentially a shift register that serially transmits data bits to other SPIs. During a data transfer, one SPI
device acts as the master which controls the data flow, while the other devices act as slaves. Data is clocked into
and out of the slave(s) by the master.
2.1
Bus Topology
SPI systems can be configured in two topologies:
●
Single Master Protocol: Contains a single CPU that is always the master while other devices in the system are
always slaves.
●
Multiple Master Protocol: Contains different CPUs and they take turns being the master.
Note
2.2
One master may simultaneously shift data into multiple slaves. However, only one slave may drive its
output to write data back to the master at any given time.
Master to Slave Device Interface
A slave device is selected when the master asserts its NSS signal. If multiple slave devices exist, the master
generates a separate slave select signal for each slave (NPCS). The SPI system consists of two data lines and two
control lines:
2.3
●
Master Out Slave In (MOSI): This data line supplies the output data from the master shifted into the input(s) of
the slave(s).
●
Master In Slave Out (MISO): This data line supplies the output data from a slave to the input of the master.
There may be no more than one slave transmitting data during any particular transfer.
●
Serial Clock (SPCK): This control line is driven by the master and regulates the flow of the data bits. The
master may transmit data at a variety of baud rates; the SPCK line cycles once for each bit that is transmitted.
●
Slave Select (NSS): As long as this control line is high, nothing will be shifted out/in from the slave's shift
register when the SPI module is configured in slave mode.
Data Transfer
Four combinations of polarity (CPOL) and phase (NCPHA) are available for data transfers. The clock polarity and
phase can be controlled by user applications. These two parameters determine the edges of the clock signal on
which data is driven and sampled. Each of the two parameters has two possible states, resulting in four possible
combinations that are incompatible with one another:
SPI Mode
CPOL
NCPHA
Shift SPCK
Edge
Capture SPCK

Note
2.4
A pair of master/slave devices must use the same clock polarity and phase values to communicate. If
multiple slaves are used and fixed in different configurations, the master must reconfigure itself each
time it needs to communicate with a slave of a different type.
Application
The SPI module can be used to communicate with external memories such as DataFlash® and 3-wire EEPROMs
and a wide variety of external peripherals e.g. ADCs, DACs, LCD Controllers, CAN Controllers, sensors, and coprocessors.

Special Considerations
3.1
I/O Lines
The pins used for interfacing to external devices may be multiplexed with GPIO lines. The user application must
first program the GPIO controller to assign these pins to the SPI module.
3.2
Power Management
The SPI module may be clocked through the Power Management Controller (PMC), thus the user application must
first configure the PMC to enable the SPI clock.
3.3
Interrupt
The SPI module has an interrupt line connected to the Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC). Handling the
SPI interrupt requires that the NVIC is configured before configuring the SPI.
3.4
Peripheral DMA Controller (PDC/PDCA)
The SPI module can be used in conjunction with the PDC in order to reduce processor overhead. For a full
description of the PDC/PDCA, refer to the corresponding section in the device-specific datasheet.

Selecting menu option 't' will start the SPI transfer test:
●
Configure the SPI module as master, and set up the SPI clock
●
Send 4-byte CMD_TEST to indicate the start of a test
●
Send several 64-byte blocks, and after transmitting the next block, the content of the last block is returned
and checked.

s: Configure SPI as slave
m: Configure SPI as master
t: Perform communication sequence
h: Display menu again
Initially the SPI module will be configured to operate in Slave Mode.
5.
6.
Selecting menu option 't' will start the SPI transfer test:
●
Configure the SPI module as master, and set up the SPI clock
●
Send 4-byte CMD_TEST to indicate the start of a test
●
Send several 64-byte blocks, and after transmitting the next block, the content of the last block is returned
and checked.
●
Send CMD_STATUS command and wait for the status reports from the slave
●
Send CMD_END command to indicate the end of test
The resulting terminal messages detail operations carried out in this SPI example, displaying success and/or
error messages depending on the results of the commands.

Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) PDC example
8.4.1
Purpose
This example uses the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) of one EK board in Slave Mode to communicate with
another EK board's SPI in Master Mode using the PDC functionality.
8.4.2
Requirements
This example can be used with two SAM4 evaluation kits such as the SAM4N Xplained Pro, SAM4S EK and other
evaluation kits. Refer to the list of kits available for the actual device on http://www.atmel.com.

Description
This example shows how to configure and transfer data using SPI. By default, example runs in SPI slave mode,
waiting for both SPI slave data input and UART user input.

●
spi.c: Serial Peripheral Interface driver
●
spi.h: Serial Peripheral Interface driver header file
●
spi_pdc_example.c: Serial Peripheral Interface PDC example application
Compilation Information
This software is written for GNU GCC and IAR Embedded Workbench for Atmel. Other compilers may or may not
work.
8.4.6
Usage
1.
Build the program and download it into the evaluation board
2.
On the computer, open, and configure a terminal application (e.g., HyperTerminal on Microsoft Windows) with
these settings:
●
115200 baud
●
8 bits of data
●
No parity
●
1 stop bit
●
No flow control
3.
Start the application
4.
In the terminal window, the following text should appear:
*

Selecting menu option 't' will start the SPI transfer test:
●
Configure the SPI module as master, and set up the SPI clock
●
Send a 64-byte data block and check that it is received correctly
The resulting terminal messages detail operations carried out in this SPI example, displaying success and/or
error messages depending on the results of the commands.
