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, SPI_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.
an implementation.
If the CSAAT bit is used, with or without the PDC, the Mode Fault detection for NPCS0 line must
be disabled. This is not needed for all other chip select lines since Mode Fault Detection is only
on NPCS0.
During a transfer of more than one data on a Chip Select without the PDC, the SPI_TDR is
loaded by the processor, the flag TDRE rises as soon as the content of the SPI_TDR is trans-
ferred into the internal shift register. When this flag is detected high, the SPI_TDR can be
reloaded. If this reload by the processor occurs before the end of the current transfer and if the
next transfer is performed on the same chip select as the current transfer, the Chip Select is not
de-asserted between the two transfers. But depending on the application software handling the
SPI status register flags (by interrupt or polling method) or servicing other interrupts or other
tasks, the processor may not reload the SPI_TDR in time to keep the chip select active (low). A
null Delay Between Consecutive Transfer (DLYBCT) value in the SPI_CSR register, will give
even less time for the processor to reload the SPI_TDR. With some SPI slave peripherals,
requiring the chip select line to remain active (low) during a full set of transfers might lead to
communication errors.
To facilitate interfacing with such devices, the Chip Select Register [CSR0...CSR3] can be pro-
grammed with the CSAAT bit (Chip Select Active After Transfer) at 1. This allows the chip select
lines to remain in their current state (low = active) until transfer to another chip select is required.
