5.11 Multi-Buffered / Standard Serial Peripheral Interface
The MibSPI is a high-speed synchronous serial input/output port that allows a serial bit stream of
programmed length (2 to 16 bits) to be shifted in and out of the device at a programmed bit-transfer rate.
Typical applications for the SPI include interfacing to external peripherals, such as I/Os, memories, display
drivers, and analog-to-digital converters.
5.11.1 Features
Both Standard and MibSPI modules have the following features:
• 16-bit shift register
• Receive buffer register
• 8-bit baud clock generator
• SPICLK can be internally-generated (master mode) or received from an external clock source (slave
mode)
• Each word transferred can have a unique format
• SPI I/Os not used in the communication can be used as digital input/output signals

5.11.2 MibSPI Transmit and Receive RAM Organization
The Multibuffer RAM is comprised of 128 buffers. Each entry in the Multibuffer RAM consists of 4 parts: a
16-bit transmit field, a 16-bit receive field, a 16-bit control field and a 16-bit status field. The Multibuffer
RAM can be partitioned into multiple transfer group with variable number of buffers each. Each MibSPIx
module supports 8 transfer groups.
5.11.3 MibSPI Transmit Trigger Events
Each of the transfer groups can be configured individually. For each of the transfer groups a trigger event
and a trigger source can be chosen. A trigger event can be for example a rising edge or a permanent low
level at a selectable trigger source. For example, up to 15 trigger sources are available which can be
utilized by each transfer group. These trigger options are listed in Table 5-29 and Section 5.11.3.2 for
MibSPI1 and MibSPi3 respectively.
