What is Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)?

• SPI is a synchronous serial protocol proposed by
  Motorola to be used as standard for interfacing
  peripheral chips to a microcontroller.
• Devices are classified into the master or slaves.
• The SPI protocol uses four wires to carry out the
  task of data communication
• MOSI master out slave in
• MISO master in slave out
• SCK serial clock
• SS slave select
• An SPI data transfer is initiated by the master
  device. A master is responsible for generating
  the SCK signal to synchronize the data transfer.
• The SPI protocol is mainly used to interface with
  shift registers, LED/LCD drivers, phase locked
  loop chips, memory components with SPI interface,
  or A/D or D/A converter chips.

The HCS12 SPI Modules

• An HCS12 device may have from one to three SPI
  modules.
• The MC9S12DP256 has three SPI modules SPI0,
  SPI1, and SPI2.
• By default, the SPI0 share the use of the upper 4
  Port S pins
• PS7 ? SS0 (can be rerouted to PM3)
• PS6 ? SCK0 (can be rerouted to PM5)
• PS5 ? MOSI0 (can be rerouted to PM4)
• PS4 ? MISO0 (can be rerouted to PM2)
• By default, the SPI1 shares the use of the lower
  4 Port P pins
• PP3 ? SS1 (can be rerouted to PH3)
• PP2 ? SCK1 (can be rerouted to PH2)
• PP1 ? MOSI1 (can be rerouted to PH1)
• PP0 ? MISO1 (can be rerouted to PH0)
• By default, the SPI2 shares the use of the upper
  4 Port P pins
• PP6 ? SS2 (can be rerouted to PH7)
• PP7 ? SCK2 (can be rerouted to PH6)
• PP5 ? MOSI2 (can be rerouted to PH5)
• PP4 ? MISO2 (can be rerouted to PH4)
• It is important to make sure that there is no
  conflict in the use of signal pins when making
  rerouting decision.

SPI Related Registers (1 of 6)

• The operating parameters of each SPI module are
  controlled via two control registers
• SPIxCR1 (x 0, 1, or 2)
• SPIxCR2
• The baud rate of SPI transfer is controlled by
  the SPIxBR register.
• The operation status of the SPI operation is
  recorded in the SPIxSR register.
• The contents of the SPIxCR1, SPIxCR2, SPIxBR, and
  SPIxSR registers are illustrated in Figure 10.1
  to 10.4, respectively.
• The SS pin may be disconnected from SPI by
  clearing the SSOE bit in the SPIxCR1 register.
  After that, it can be used as a general I/O pin.
• If the SSOE bit in the SPIxCR1 register is set to
  1, then the SS signal will be asserted to enable
  the slave device whenever a new SPI transfer is
  started.
• The equation for setting the SPI baud rate is
  given in Figure 10.3.

SPI Related Registers (6 of 6)

• Example 10.1 Give a value to be loaded to the
  SPIxBR register to set the baud rate to 2 MHz for
  a 24 MHz bus clock.
• Solution 24 MHz ? 2 MHz 12. One possibility is
  to set SPPR2-SPPR0 and SPR2-SPR0 to 010 and 001,
  respectively. The value to be loaded into the
  SPIxBR register is 21.
• Example 10.2 What is the highest possible baud
  rate for the SPI with 24 MHz bus clock?
• Solution The highest SPI baud rate occurs when
  both the SPPR2-SPPR0 and SPR2-SPR0 are 000. In
  this case the baud rate is 24 MH ? 2 12 MHz.

10
SPI Transmission Format (1 of 3)

• The data bits can be shifted on the rising or the
  falling edge of the SCK clock.
• Since the SCK can be idle high or idle low, there
  are four possible combinations as shown in Figure
  10.5 and 10.6.
• To shift data bits on the rising edge, set
  CPOL-CPHA to 00 or 11.
• To shift data bits on the falling edge, set
  CPOL-CPHA to 01 or 10.
• Data byte can be shifted in and out most
  significant bit first or least significant bit
  first.

12
SPI Transmission Format (3 of 3)
13
Bidirectional Mode (MOMI or SISO)

• A mode that uses only one data pin to shift data
  in and out.
• This mode is provided to deal with peripheral
  devices with only one data pin.
• Either the MOSI pin or the MISO pin can be used
  as the bidirectional pin.
• When the SPI is configured to the master mode
  (MSTR bit 1), the MOSI pin is used in data
  transmission and becomes the MOMI pin.
• When the SPI is configured to the slave mode
  (MSTR bit 0), the MISO pin is used in data
  transmission and becomes the SISO pin.
• The direction of each serial pin depends on the
  BIDIROE bit of the SPIxCR2 register.
• The pin configuration for MOSI and MISO are
  illustrated in Figure 10.7.
• If one wants to read data from the peripheral
  device, clear the BIDIROE bit to 0.
• If one wants to output data to the peripheral
  device, set the BIDIROE bit to 1.
• The use of the this mode is illustrated in
  exercise problem 10.8.

15
Mode Fault Error

• If the SSx signal goes low while the SPIx is
  configured as a master, it indicates a system
  error where more than one master may be trying to
  drive the MOSIx and SCKx pins simultaneously.
• The MODF bit in the SPIxSR register will be set
  to 1 when mode fault condition occurs.
• When mode fault occurs, the MSTR bit will be
  cleared to 0 and the output enable for the MOSIx
  and SCKx pins will be deasserted.

16
SPI Circuit Connection

• In an SPI system, one device is configured as a
  master. Other devices are configured as slaves.
• The circuit connection for a single-slave system
  is shown in Figure 10.8.
• A multi-slave system may have two different
  connection methods as illustrated in Figure 10.9
  and 10.10.
• In Figure 10.9, the master can exchange data with
  each individual slave without affecting other
  slaves.
• In Figure 10.10, all the slaves are configured
  into a larger ring. A data transmission with
  certain slaves will go through other slaves.

• Solution fE / baud rate 24 MHz/6 MHz 4. We
  need to set SPPR2-SPPR0 and SPR2-SPR0 to 001 and
  000, respectively. Write the value 10 into the
  SPI0BR register.

25
The HC595 Shift Register

• The HC595 consists of an 8-bit shift register and
  a D-type latch with three-state parallel output.
• The shift register provides parallel data to the
  latch.
• The maximum data shift rate is 100 MHz (Philips
  part).

26
Signal Pins of the HC595

• DS serial data input
• SC shift clock. A low-to-high transition on this
  pin causes the data at the serial input pin to be
  shifted into the 8-bit shift register.
• Reset A low on this pin resets the shift
  register portion of this device.
• LC latch clock. A low-to-high transition on this
  pin loads the contents of the shift register into
  the output latch.
• OE output enable. A low on this pin allows the
  data from the latches to be presented at the
  outputs.
• QA to QH tri-state latch output
• SQH the output of the eight stage of the shift
  register

27
Applications of the HC595 (1 of 2)

• The HC595 is often used to add parallel ports to
  the microcontroller.
• Both the connection methods shown in Figure 10.9
  and 10.10 can be used to add parallel ports to
  the MCU.

28
Applications of the HC595 (2 of 2)

• Example 10.5 Describe how to use two 74HC595s to
  drive eight common cathode seven-segment displays
  assuming that the E clock frequency of the HCS12
  is 24 MHz.
• Solution Use the circuit in figure 10.12 to
  connect two 74HC595s to the HCS12.

The TC72 Digital Thermometer

• 10-bit resolution and SPI interface
• Pin assignment and block diagram shown in Figure
  10.13.
• Capable of reading temperature from -55oC to
  125oC.
• Can be used in continuous temperature conversion
  or one-shot conversion mode.
• Has internal clock generator to control the
  automatic temperature conversion sequence

33
Temperature Data Format

• Temperature is represented by a 10-bit twos
  complement word with a resolution of 0.25oC per
  least significant bit.
• The converter is scaled from -128oC to 127oC
  with 0oC represented as 0x0000.
• The temperature value is stored in two 8-bit
  registers.
• Whenever the most significant bit is 1, the
  temperature is negative.
• A sample of temperature reading is shown.

34
TC72s Serial Interface

• The CE input to the TC72 must be asserted (high)
  to enable SPI transfer.
• Data can be shifted on the rising edge or the
  falling edge depending on the idle polarity of
  the SCK source.
• Data transfer to and from the TC72 consists of
  one address byte followed by one or multiple data
  (2 to 4) bytes.
• The TC72 registers and their addresses are shown
  in Table 10.4.
• The most significant bit of the address byte
  determines whether a read (A7 0) or a write (A7
  1) operation will occur.
• A multiple byte read operation will start from
  high address toward lower addresses.
• The user can send in the temperature result high
  byte address and read the temperature result high
  byte, low byte, and the control registers.

35
Procedure for Reading Temperature (1 of 2)

• Step 1
• Pull the CE pin high to enable SPI transfer.
• Step 2
• Send the temperature result high byte read
  address (0x02) to the TC72. Wait until the SPI
  transfer is complete.
• Step 3
• Read the temperature result high byte. The user
  needs to write a dummy byte into the SPI data
  register to trigger eight clock pulses.
• Step 4
• Read the temperature result low byte. Again, the
  user needs to write a dummy byte into the SPI
  data register to trigger eight clock pulses.
• Step 5
• Pull CE pin to low so that a new transfer can be
  started.
• Single-byte read and multiple-byte read timing
  diagrams are shown in Figures 10.15b and 10.15c.

36
Procedure for Reading Temperature (2 of 2)
37
Control Register

• The control register is used to select the
  shutdown, continuous, or one-shot conversion
  operating mode.
• The temperature conversion mode selection logic
  is shown in Table 10.5.
• At power up, the SHDN bit is 1. Thus the TC72 is
  in the shutdown mode.
• If the SHDN bit is 0, the TC72 will perform a
  temperature conversion approximately every 150
  ms.
• A temperature conversion will be initiated by a
  write operation into the control register to
  select the continuous mode or one-shot mode.
• A typical circuit connection between the TC72 and
  the HCS12 is shown in Figure 10.16.

38

• Example 10.6 Write a C program to read the
  temperature every 200 ms. Convert the temperature
  to a string so that it can be displayed in an
  appropriate output device. A pointer to hold the
  string will be passed to this function. The bus
  clock is 24 MHz.

The Driving Method of Matrix LED Displays

• Two parallel ports are needed to drive the matrix
  display.
• One port drives the column whereas the other port
  drives the rows.
• One needs to scan the matrix LED displays one row
  at a time, from top to bottom.
• For multiple matrix LED displays in the
  application, time-multiplexing technique needs to
  be used.
• Dedicated driver chips such as MAX6952 (SPI
  interface) and MAX6953 (I2C interface) are
  available for cathode-row matrix LED displays to
  simplify the interfacing.

57
The MAX6952 Matrix Display Driver

• Clock 16 bits into the DIN pin with bit 15 first.
  Bit 15 must be a 1. Bits 14 to 8 contain the
  address of the register to be read. Bits 7 to 0
  contain dummy data.
• Step 4
• Pull the CS signal to high. Bits 7 to of the
  shift register will be loaded with the data in
  the register addressed by bits 15 through 8.
• Step 5
• Pull CLK to low.
• Step 6
• Issue another read command and examine the bit
  stream at the DOUT pin. The second 8 bits are the
  contents of the register addressed by bits 14 to
  8 in Step 3.

MAX6952 Register Map
66
Digit Registers (1 of 2)

• The MAX6952 uses eight digit registers to store
  the characters that the user wishes to display on
  the four 5 ? 7 digits.
• These digit registers are placed in two planes
  (P0 and P1) with each plane having 4 bytes.
• Each LED digit is represented by 2 bytes of
  memory, one byte in plane P0 and the other in
  plane P1.
• A digit data can be updated in P0, or P1, or both
  at the same time as shown in Table 10.10.
• If the blink function is disabled, then the digit
  register data in plane P0 is used to multiplex
  the display.
• If the blink function is enabled, then the digit
  register data in both plane P0 and P1 are
  alternately used to multiplex the display.
• Blinking is achieved by multiplexing the LED
  display using data planes P0 and P1 on alternate
  phases of the blink clock. The multiplexing
  pattern in shown in Table 10.11.

67
Digit Registers (2 of 2)

• The data in the digit registers does not control
  the digit segments directly.
• The register data is used to address a character
  generator, which stores the data of a
  128-character font.
• The lower 7 bits of he display data select the
  character font.
• The bit 7 of the register data selects whether
  the font data is used directly (D7 0) or
  whether the font is inverted (D7 1).

68
Configuration Register

• The configuration register is used to enter and
  exit shutdown, select the blink rate, enable and
  disable the blink function, clear the digit data,
  and reset the blink timing.

69
Intensity Registers

• Display brightness is controlled by four
  pulse-width modulators, one for each display
  digit.
• The upper four bits of the Intensity10 register
  control the intensity of the matrix display 1,
  whereas the lower four bits of the same register
  control the brightness of the display 0.
• Matrix display digits 3 and 2 are controlled by
  the upper four bits and lower four bits of the
  Intensity32 register, respectively.
• The modulator scales the average segment current
  in 16 steps from a maximum of 15/16 down to 1/16
  of the peak current.

70
Scan Limit Register

• This register allows the user to choose between
  displaying two or four matrix displays.
• The multiplexing scheme drives digits 0 and 1 at
  the same time, then digits 2 and 3 at the same
  time.

71
Scan Test Register

• This register switches the drivers between two
  modes normal and test.
• Display test mode turns on all LEDs by
  overriding, but not altering all control and
  digit registers.
• In display test mode, eight digits are scanned
  and the duty cycle is 7/16 (half power).

72
Character Generator Font Mapping

• The character generator comprises 104 characters
  in ROM, and 24 user-definable characters.
• The lower 7 bits of the digit register select the
  character fonts.
• The character map follows the Arial font for 96
  characters in the range from 0101000 to
  1111111.
• The first 32 characters map the 24 user-defined
  positions (RAM00 to RAM23), plus eight extra
  common characters in ROM.
• When the msb is 0 the device will display the
  font normally. Otherwise, the chip will display
  the font inversely.

73
User-Defined Font Register

• The 24 user-definable characters are represented
  by 120 entries of 7-bit data, five entries per
  character in the SRAM.
• The 120 user definable font data are written and
  read through a single register at the address
  0x05.
• An auto-incrementing font address pointer
  indirectly accesses the font data.
• The font data is written to and read from the
  MAX6952 indirectly, using the font address
  pointer.
• To define user fonts, the user first needs to set
  the font address pointer. This is done by
  placing the address in the font address pointer
  register and set the bit 7 to 1. After this, one
  can write the font data to the lower 7 bits and
  clear the bit 7.
• The font address pointer autoincrements after a
  valid access to the user-defined font data.
• The memory mapping of user-defined font register
  0x05 is detailed in Table 10.12. The behavior of
  the font pointer address is illustrated in Table
  10.13.
• To display the user-defined fonts, one must send
  in the RAM address from 0x00 to 0x17,
  corresponding to the font address pointer value
  that is 5 ? RAM address.

75
Blinking Operation

• The blinking operation makes the LED drivers flip
  between displaying the digit register data in
  planes P0 and P1.
• If the digit register data for any digit is
  different in two planes, then that digit appears
  to flip between two characters.
• To make a character to appear to blink on and
  off, write the character to one plane and use the
  blank character for the other plane.
• Blinking is enabled by setting the E bit of the
  configuration register.
• The blink speed can be programmed to be fast or
  slow and is determined by the frequency of the
  multiplex clock, OSC, and by setting the B bit of
  the configuration register.

76
Choosing Values for RSET and CSET

• The MAX6952 uses an RC oscillator to generate
  clock signals for display multiplexing.
• The recommended RSET and CSET values are 53.6K?
  and 26 pF, respectively.
• The recommended values for RSET and CSET will set
  the slow and fast blinking frequencies to 0.5 Hz
  and 1 Hz.
• The recommended values for RSET and CSET will set
  the peak current to 40 mA.

77

  10.30, write a program to display the following
  message and shift the information from
  right-to-left every second and enable blinking
• 083040 Wednesday, 72oF, humidity 60
• Solution One possible solution is as follows
• Use the plane P0 to shift the message once every
  half a second.
• Use the message in plane P0 to multiplex the
  displays in half a second.
• Use the message sent to the plane P1 to multiplex
  the displays in the next half of a second.
• Display space characters in plane P1 only to
  create blinking effect.
• Use a delay function to control the shifting of
  the message.
