MSS#27

MibSPI in Peripheral Mode in 3- or 4-Pin Communication Transmits Data Incorrectly for Slow SPICLK Frequencies and for Clock Phase = 1

Revision(s) Affected:

AWR2944P, AWR2E44P, AWR2944-ECO, AWR2E44-ECO, AWR2944LC, AWR2E44LC

Description:

The MibSPI module, when configured in multibuffered peripheral mode with 3-functional pins (CLK, SIMO, SOMI) or 4-functional pins (CLK, SIMO, SOMI, nENA), could transmit incorrect data when all the following conditions are met:

  • MibSPI module is configured in multibuffered mode,
  • Module is configured to be a peripheral in the SPI communication,
  • SPI communication is configured to be in 3-pin mode or 4-pin mode with nENA,
  • Clock phase for SPICLK is 1, and
  • SPICLK frequency is MSS_VCLK frequency / 12 or slower

Workaround(s):

The issue can be avoided by setting the CSHOLD bit in the control field of the TX RAM (Multi-Buffer RAM Transmit Data Register). The nCS is not used as a functional signal in this communication; hence, setting the CSHOLD bit does not cause any other effect on the SPI communication.
