ADSP-214xx SHARC Processor Hardware Reference 15-3
Serial Peripheral Interface Ports
• Programmable baud rates, clock polarities, and phases (SPI mode
0–3).
• Master or slave booting from a master SPI device. See “SPI Port
Booting” on page 23-12.
• DMA capability to allow transfer of data without core overhead.
See “DMA Transfers” on page 15-21.
• Internal loopback mode (by connecting
MISO to MOSI).
Note the SPI interface does not support daisy chain operation, where the
MOSI and MISO pins are internally connected through a FIFO, allowing
bypass of data streams.
Pin Descriptions
The SPI protocol uses a 4-wire protocol to enable full-duplex serial com-
munication. Table 15-2 provides detailed pin descriptions and
Figure 15-1 shows the master-slave connections between two devices.

Internal Node Type Description
SPI_CLK_I/O
SPIB_CLK_I/O
I/O SPI Clock Signal. This control line is clock driven by the master
and regulates the flow of the data bits. The master may transmit
data at a variety of baud rates. The CLK line cycles once for each
bit that is transmitted. It is an output signal if the device is config-
ured as a master; it is an input signal if configured as a slave.
SPI_DS_I
SPIB_DS_I
I SPI Slave Device Select. This is an active-low input signal that is
used to enable slave devices. This signal is like a chip select signal
for the slave devices and is provided by the master device. For a
master device, it can act as an error input signal in a multi-master
environment. In multi-master mode, if the /SPIDS input signal of
a master is asserted (Low) an error has occurred. This means that
another device is also trying to be the master.
