SPI master and 3 DAC's

lah1 — Thu, 26 Jul 2018 08:34:26 GMT

I have to attach 3 very similar DAC's to the same SPI interface and not knowing too much about SPI or the Kinetis K platform I thought I only had to make one SPI configuration, and then set the relevant chip select signals to switch between which DAC I was talking to. But from the questions/comments on the community it seems like I have to make 3 almost identical "master_config" with only the "whichPcs" being apart, and then re-initialize the specific SPI interface from scratch each time I need to switch DAC, is that really the case?

I would assume only one configuration was needed, and perhaps a specific function available to shift chip select.

I cannot find a good example for this to see how it's supposed to be done, can you perhaps point me to one?

I have the benefit of being able to use the newest MCUXpresso and SDK's available if needed. I am making code to be used on Kinetis K26_180, but I guess an example from any Kinetis board would help me, as I just need to understand how it's done. Perhaps even some documentation is available?

Hi, Lars,

i think one master_config is okay, when you want to transfer data to different slave spi modle, based on the driver example, you just use the following code.

You just change the EXAMPLE_DSPI_MASTER_PCS_FOR_TRANSFER, it is okay.

/*Start master transfer*/
    masterXfer.txData = masterTxData;
    masterXfer.rxData = masterRxData;
    masterXfer.dataSize = TRANSFER_SIZE;
    masterXfer.configFlags = kDSPI_MasterCtar0 | EXAMPLE_DSPI_MASTER_PCS_FOR_TRANSFER | kDSPI_MasterPcsContinuous;

DSPI_MasterTransferNonBlocking(EXAMPLE_DSPI_MASTER_BASEADDR, &g_m_handle, &masterXfer);

    /* Wait slave received all data. */
    while (!isTransferCompleted)
    {
    }

Hope it can help you

I'm sorry, but I don't think this answers my question: how do I do "Chip select" to select between my 3 SPI slaves?

Does your answer imply that I should not use the "whichPcs" variable in the SPI master control structure and do chip select with independent pins, or how is this supposed to work?

Hi, Lars,

Anyway, if you can change handle->lastCommand or handle->command which are copied to base->PUSHR register when you transfer data, it is okay.

With the following lines, you can change the handle->lastCommand or handle->command.

DSPI_MasterTransferNonBlocking(EXAMPLE_DSPI_MASTER_BASEADDR, &g_m_handle, &masterXfer);

    /* Wait slave received all data. */
    while (!isTransferCompleted)
    {
    }

In other words, if you want to select one DAC, just change the line:

masterXfer.configFlags = kDSPI_MasterCtar0 | EXAMPLE_DSPI_MASTER_PCS_FOR_TRANSFER | kDSPI_MasterPcsContinuous;

then call the DSPI_MasterTransferNonBlocking(EXAMPLE_DSPI_MASTER_BASEADDR, &g_m_handle, &masterXfer);

the SPI will communicate with the device you selected by the EXAMPLE_DSPI_MASTER_PCS_FOR_TRANSFER.

kDSPI_MasterPcs0 = 0U << DSPI_MASTER_PCS_SHIFT, /*!< DSPI master transfer use PCS0 signal. */
    kDSPI_MasterPcs1 = 1U << DSPI_MASTER_PCS_SHIFT, /*!< DSPI master transfer use PCS1 signal. */
    kDSPI_MasterPcs2 = 2U << DSPI_MASTER_PCS_SHIFT, /*!< DSPI master transfer use PCS2 signal.*/
    kDSPI_MasterPcs3 = 3U << DSPI_MASTER_PCS_SHIFT, /*!< DSPI master transfer use PCS3 signal. */
    kDSPI_MasterPcs4 = 4U << DSPI_MASTER_PCS_SHIFT, /*!< DSPI master transfer use PCS4 signal. */
    kDSPI_MasterPcs5 = 5U << DSPI_MASTER_PCS_SHIFT, /*!< DSPI master transfer use PCS5 signal. */

Pls have a try.
