35.6.2 Power Management
The SPI can be clocked through the Power Management Controller (PMC), thus the programmer must first
configure the PMC to enable the SPI clock.
35.6.3 Interrupt
The SPI interface has an interrupt line connected to the interrupt controller. Handling the SPI interrupt requires
programming the interrupt controller before configuring the SPI.
35.6.4 Peripheral DMA Controller (PDC) or Direct Memory Access Controller (DMAC)
The SPI interface can be used in conjunction with the PDC or DMAC in order to reduce processor overhead. For a
full description of the PDC or DMAC, refer to the corresponding section in the full datasheet.
35.7 Functional Description
35.7.1 Modes of Operation
The SPI operates in Master mode or in Slave mode.
 The SPI operates in Master mode by writing to 1 the MSTR bit in the SPI Mode register (SPI_MR):
̶ The pins NPCS0 to NPCS3 are all configured as outputs
̶ The SPCK pin is driven
̶ The MISO line is wired on the receiver input
̶ The MOSI line is driven as an output by the transmitter.
 The SPI operates in Slave mode if the MSTR bit in the SPI_MR is written to 0:
̶ The MISO line is driven by the transmitter output
̶ The MOSI line is wired on the receiver input
̶ The SPCK pin is driven by the transmitter to synchronize the receiver.
̶ The NPCS0 pin becomes an input, and is used as a slave select signal (NSS)
̶ The pins NPCS0 to NPCS3 are not driven and can be used for other purposes.
