The SPIMmodule from Inicore provides a robust Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) master controller within a streamlined architecture, designed for efficient peripheral connectivity. This module implements a message queue-based structure that simplifies the management of SPI communications, making it a valuable asset for systems integrating multiple peripherals.
Supporting all standard SPI modes, the module allows customization in clock polarity, phase, and bit rate, thus enhancing its versatility across different system requirements. The SPIMmodule is engineered for full duplex operation and enables continuous message retransmission, which is particularly useful in environments where constant data flow is necessary.
An integral feature of this module is its configurable command field within the message queue, allowing comprehensive command execution without the need for processor intervention. This capability is complemented by a local interrupt controller, enhancing its functionality in complex systems where autonomous interaction between the CPU and peripherals is beneficial.
