17.1 Introduction
The Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) module provides the functionality for synchronous serial
communications with peripheral devices, and can be configured to use either the Motorola® SPI™,
National Semiconductor® Microwire, or the Texas Instruments® synchronous serial interface
frame formats. The size of the data frame is also configurable, and can be set to be between 4
and 16 bits, inclusive.
The SSI module performs serial-to-parallel data conversion on data received from a peripheral
device, and parallel-to-serial conversion on data transmitted to a peripheral device. The TX and RX
paths are buffered with internal FIFOs allowing up to eight 16-bit values to be stored independently.
The SSI module can be configured as either a master or a slave device. As a slave device, the SSI
module can also be configured to disable its output, which allows a master device to be coupled
with multiple slave devices.
The SSI module also includes a programmable bit rate clock divider and prescaler to generate the
output serial clock derived from the SSI module’s input clock. Bit rates are generated based on the
input clock and the maximum bit rate supported by the connected peripheral.
For devices that include a DMA controller, the SSI module also provides a DMA interface to facilitate
data transfer via DMA.
