Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Controller
The SAM9N12/CN11 serial processor provides two high-speed Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) control-
lers. One port is used to interface with the on-board serial DataFlash.
A 3-state buffer is in serial with DataFlash CS signal, with PB1 to give a manually disable manner for 
DataFlash boot.

Two Wire Interface (TWI)
The SAM9N12/CN11 processor has two full speed (400 kHz) master/slave I2C serial controllers. The 
controllers are fully compatible with the industry standard I2C interfaces. On the EK board, TWI0 port is 
used to interface with serial EEPROM, QTouch device and audio CODEC interface. 
SAM9N12/CN11 processor supports TWI EEPROM boot at the device address of 0x50. On board, the 
EEPROM device address is 0x51. Customer needs to dismount R61 and mount R62 as 10 kohms, if 
EEPROM boot is needed.
