Peripheral Selection
Peripheral Chip Select Decoding
The serial peripherals are selected through the assertion of the NPCS0 to NPCS3 signals. By
default, all the NPCS signals are high before and after each transfer.
The peripheral selection can be performed in two different ways:
• Fixed Peripheral Select: SPI exchanges data with only one peripheral
• Variable Peripheral Select: Data can be exchanged with more than one peripheral
Fixed Peripheral Select is activated by writing the PS bit to zero in MR (Mode Register). In this
case, the current peripheral is defined by the PCS field in MR and the PCS field in TDR have no
effect.
Variable Peripheral Select is activated by setting PS bit to one. The PCS field in TDR is used to
select the current peripheral. This means that the peripheral selection can be defined for each
new data.
The Fixed Peripheral Selection allows buffer transfers with a single peripheral. Using the PDC is
an optimal means, as the size of the data transfer between the memory and the SPI is either 8
bits or 16 bits. However, changing the peripheral selection requires the Mode Register to be
reprogrammed.
The Variable Peripheral Selection allows buffer transfers with multiple peripherals without repro-
gramming the Mode Register. Data written in TDR is 32 bits wide and defines the real data to be
transmitted and the peripheral it is destined to. Using the PDC in this mode requires 32-bit wide
buffers, with the data in the LSBs and the PCS and LASTXFER fields in the MSBs, however the
SPI still controls the number of bits (8 to16) to be transferred through MISO and MOSI lines with
the chip select configuration registers. This is not the optimal means in term of memory size for
the buffers, but it provides a very effective means to exchange data with several peripherals
without any intervention of the processor.
The user can program the SPI to operate with up to 15 peripherals by decoding the four Chip
Select lines, NPCS0 to NPCS3 with an external logic. This can be enabled by writing the PCS-
DEC bit at 1 in the Mode Register (MR).
When operating without decoding, the SPI makes sure that in any case only one chip select line
is activated, i.e. driven low at a time. If two bits are defined low in a PCS field, only the lowest
numbered chip select is driven low.
When operating with decoding, the SPI directly outputs the value defined by the PCS field of
either the Mode Register or the Transmit Data Register (depending on PS).
As the SPI sets a default value of 0xF on the chip select lines (i.e. all chip select lines at 1) when
not processing any transfer, only 15 peripherals can be decoded.
The SPI has only four Chip Select Registers, not 15. As a result, when decoding is activated,
each chip select defines the characteristics of up to four peripherals. As an example, CRS0
defines the characteristics of the externally decoded peripherals 0 to 3, corresponding to the
PCS values 0x0 to 0x3. Thus, the user has to make sure to connect compatible peripherals on
the decoded chip select lines 0 to 3, 4 to 7, 8 to 11 and 12 to 14.
