coupled to an MCU, it receives ON/OFF commands from the
MCU and in return transmits the drain status of the device’s
output switches. Many devices can be daisy-chained
together, forming a larger system, illustrated in

slave MCUs. Master control of the system must pass from
one MCU to the other in an orderly manner. The master MCU

supplies the system clock signal (top MCU designated the
master); the lower MCU being the slave. It is possible to have
a system with more than one master; however, not at the
same time. Only when the master is not communicating can
a slave assume the mastership and communicate. MCU
master control is switched through the use of the slave select
(SS) pin of the MCUs. A master will become a slave when it
detects a logic low state on its SS pin.
applications where a large number of loads require efficient
control. To this end, the popular Synchronous Serial
Peripheral Interface (SPI) protocol is incorporated to
communicate efficiently with the MCU.
SPI SYSTEM ATTRIBUTES
with numerous standard peripherals and MCUs available
from Freescale Semiconductor and other semiconductor
manufacturers. SPI reduces the number of pins necessary
for input/output (I/O) on the 33298. It also offers an easy
means of expanding the I/O function using few MCU pins.
The SPI system of communication consists of the MCU
transmitting, in return it receives one data-bit of information
per system clock cycle.
one pin, Microcontroller Out Serial In (MOSI), and received
by another pin, Microcontroller In Serial Out (MISO), of
the MCU.
• Full duplex, three-wire synchronous data transfer
• Each microcontroller can be a master or a slave
• Provides write collision flag protection
• Provides end of message interrupt flag
• Four I/Os associated with SPI (MOSI, MISO, SCLK, SS)
• An MCU is required for efficient operational control
• In contrast to parallel input control it Is slower at
SCLK
These basic examples make the 33298 very attractive for
The SPI system is flexible enough to communicate directly
Data-bits of information are simultaneously transmitted by
Some features of the SPI are:
Drawbacks to SPI are:
performing pulse width modulating (PWM) functions.
