the ROOE bit is asserted, the incoming data is shifted in to the shift register. If the ROOE bit is negated,
the incoming data is ignored.
20.4.3.5.2 Draining the RX FIFO
Host software or the eDMA can remove (pop) entries from the RX FIFO by reading the DSPIx_POPR. For
more information on DSPIx_POPR, refer to Section 20.3.2.7, “DSPI POP RX FIFO Register
(DSPIx_POPR).” A read of the DSPIx_POPR decrements the RX FIFO counter by one. Attempts to pop
data from an empty RX FIFO are ignored, the RX FIFO counter remains unchanged. The data returned
from reading an empty RX FIFO is undetermined.
When the RX FIFO is not empty, the RX FIFO drain flag (RFDF) in the DSPIx_SR is set. The RFDF bit
is cleared when the RX_FIFO is empty and the eDMA controller indicates that a read from DSPIx_POPR
is complete; alternatively the RFDF bit can be cleared by the host writing a 1 to it.
20.4.4 Deserial Serial Interface (DSI) Configuration
The DSI configuration supports pin count reduction by serializing parallel input signals or register bits and
shifting them out in an SPI-like protocol. The timing and transfer protocol is described in Section 20.4.7,
“Transfer Formats.” The received serial frames are converted to a parallel form (deserialized) and placed
on the parallel output signals or in a register. The various features of the DSI configuration are set in the
DSPIx_DSICR. For more information on the DSPIx_DSICR, refer to Section 20.3.2.10, “DSPI DSI
Configuration Register (DSPIx_DSICR).” The DSPI is in DSI configuration when the DCONF field in the
DSPIx_MCR is 0b01.
The DSI frames can be from 4 to 16 bits long. With multiple transfer operation (MTO), the DSPI supports
serial chaining of DSPI modules within the MPC5553/MPC5554 to create DSI frames consisting of
concatenated bits from multiple DSPIs. The DSPI also supports parallel chaining allowing several DSPIs
and off-chip SPI devices to share the same serial communications clock (SCK) and peripheral chip select
(PCS) signals. See Section 20.4.4.7, “Multiple Transfer Operation (MTO),” for details on the serial and
parallel chaining support.
20.4.4.1 DSI Master Mode
In DSI master mode the DSPI initiates and controls the DSI transfers. The DSI master has four different
conditions that can initiate a transfer:
• Continuous
• Change in data
• Trigger signal
• Trigger signal combined with a change in data
The four transfer initiation conditions are described in Section 20.4.4.5, “DSI Transfer Initiation Control.”
Transfer attributes are set during initialization. The DSICTAS field in the DSPIx_DSICR determines
which of the DSPIx_CTARs will control the transfer attributes.
20.4.4.2 DSI Slave Mode
In DSI slave mode the DSPI responds to transfers initiated by an SPI or DSI bus master. In this mode the
DSPI does not initiate DSI transfers. Certain transfer attributes such as clock polarity and phase must be
set for successful communication with a DSI master. The DSI slave mode transfer attributes are set in the
DSPIx_CTAR1.
