7.3.3 Device Interface Modes

The family of devices supports three different interface modes (SPI, tSPI and hardware) to offer either increased simplicity (hardware interface) or greater flexibility and diagnostics (SPI). The SPI and hardware interface modes share the same four pins, allowing the different versions to be pin-to-pin compatible. Designers are encouraged to evaluate with the SPI version due to ease of changing settings, and can consider switching to the hardware interface with minimal modifications to the design.
