SPI Connector 

 

 

Figure 9 - SPI Circuit 

The ME910 SPI interface pins are available on J16 connector, the U10 level translator 
port A is powered at the same voltage as the MCU IOs.

 

The SPI Level translator B port is powered by +3V3 or VAUX_1V8 by shortening the 8,7 
or 7,6 pin of J16

 

Outputs Switch to 3-State if either VCC is at GND or OE is high.
