ATAM862-3

At the beginning of every telegram, the SSI control loads the transmit buffer into the shift register

and proceeds immediately to shift data serially out. At the same time, incoming data is shifted

into the shift register input. This incoming data is automatically loaded into the receive buffer

when the complete telegram has been received. Thus, data can be simultaneously received and

transmitted if required.

Before data can be transferred, the SSI must first be activated. This is performed by means of

the SSI reset control (SIR) bit. All further operation then depends on the data directional mode

(TX/RX) and the present status of the SSI buffer registers shown by the Serial Interface Ready

Status Flag (SRDY). This SRDY flag indicates the (empty/full) status of either the transmit buffer

(in TX mode), or the receive buffer (in RX mode). The control logic ensures that data shifting is

temporarily halted at any time, if the appropriate receive/transmit buffer is not ready (SRDY = 0).

The SRDY status will then automatically be set back to ‘1’ and data shifting resumed as soon as

the application software loads the new data into the transmit register (in TX mode) or frees the

shift register by reading it into the receive buffer (in RX mode).

A further activity status (ACT) bit indicates the present status of the serial communication. The

ACT bit remains high for the duration of the serial telegram or if MCL stop or start conditions are

currently being generated. Both the current SRDY and ACT status can be read in the SSI status

8-bit Synchronous Mode

Figure 23-16. 8-bit Synchronous Mode

In the 8-bit synchronous mode, the SSI can operate as either a 2- or 3-wire interface (see “SSI

Peripheral Configuration” on page 72). The serial data (SD) is received or transmitted in NRZ

format, synchronized to either the rising or falling edge of the shift clock (SC). The choice of

clock edge is defined by the Serial Mode Control bits (SM0,SM1). It should be noted that the

transmission edge refers to the SC clock edge with which the SD changes. To avoid clock skew

problems, the incoming serial input data is shifted in with the opposite edge.

When used together with one of the timer modulator or demodulator stages, the SSI must be set

in the 8-bit synchronous mode 1.

In RX mode, as soon as the SSI is activated (SIR = 0), 8 shift clocks are generated and the

incoming serial data is shifted into the shift register. This first telegram is automatically trans-

ferred into the receive buffer and the SRDY set to 0 indicating that the receive buffer contains

valid data. At the same time an interrupt (if enabled) is generated. The SSI then continues shift-

ing in the following 8-bit telegram. If, during this time the first telegram has been read by the

controller, the second telegram will also be transferred in the same way into the receive buffer
