SAM7S Series
Real Time Timer (RTT)
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
RTT: Possible Event Loss when Reading RTT_SR
SPI: Software Reset Must be Written Twice
SPI: Bad tx_ready Behavior when CSAAT = 1 and SCBR = 1
SPI: LASTXFER (Last Transfer) Behavior
SPI: SPCK Behavior in Master Mode
SPI: Chip Select and Fixed Mode
If an event (RTTINC or ALMS) occurs within the same slow clock cycle during which the
RTT_SR is read, the corresponding bit might be cleared. This can lead to the loss of this event.
The software must handle the RTT event as an interrupt and should not poll RTT_SR.
If a software reset (SWRST in the SPI Control Register) is performed, the SPI may not work
properly (the clock is enabled before the chip select).
The SPI Control Register field, SWRST needs to be written twice to be set correctly.
If the SPI is programmed with CSAAT = 1, SCBR(baudrate) = 1 and two transfers are performed
consecutively on the same slave with an IDLE state between them, the tx_ready signal does not
rise after the second data has been transferred in the shifter. This can imply for example, that
the second data is sent twice.
Do not use the combination CSAAT = 1 and SCBR = 1.
In FIXED Mode, with CSAAT bit set, and in “PDC mode” the Chip Select can rise depending on
the data written in the SPI_TDR when the TX_EMPTY flag is set. If for example, the PDC writes
a “1” in the bit 24 (LASTXFER bit) of the SPI_TDR, the chip select will rise as soon as the
TXEMPTY flag is set.
Use the CS in PIO mode when PDC mode is required and CS has to be maintained between
transfers.
SPCK pin can toggle out before the first transfer in Master Mode.
Problem Fix/Workaround
In Master Mode, MSTR bit must be set (in SPI_MR register) before configuring SPI_CSRx
registers.
In fixed Mode, if a transfer is performed through a PDC on a Chip select different from the Chip
select 0, the output spi_size sampled by the PDC will depend on the field, BITS (Bits per Trans-
fer) of SPI_CSR0 register, whatever the selected Chip select is. For example, if SPI_CSR0 is
configured for a 10-bit transfer whereas SPI_CSR1 is configured for an 8-bit transfer, when a
transfer is performed in Fixed mode through the PDC, on Chip select 1, the transfer will be con-
sidered as a HalfWord transfer.
