SERCOM SPI – SERCOM Serial Peripheral Interface
25.1
Overview
The serial peripheral interface (SPI) is one of the available modes in the Serial Communication Interface (SERCOM).
Refer to
Refer to
The SPI uses the SERCOM transmitter and receiver configured as shown in
. Each side, master and slave, depicts a separate SPI containing a shift register, a transmit
buffer and two receive buffers. In addition, the SPI master uses the SERCOM baud-rate generator, while the SPI slave
can use the SERCOM address match logic. Fields shown in capital letters are synchronous to CLK_SERCOMx_APB
and accessible by the CPU, while fields with lowercase letters are synchronous to the SCK clock.
