LPC1768 SPI Block
The below block diagram shows the SPI input pins multiplexed with other GPIO pins.
The SPI pin can be enabled by configuring the corresponding PINSEL register to select SPI function.
When the SPI function is selected for that pin in the Pin Select register, other Digital signals are disconnected from the SPI input pins.
Port Pin | Pin Number | PINSEL_FUNC_0 | PINSEL_FUNC_1 | PINSEL_FUNC_2 | PINSEL_FUNC_3 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
P0.15 | 47 | GPIO | TXD1 | SCK0 | SCK |
P0.16 | 48 | GPIO | RXD1 | SSEL0 | SSEL |
P0.17 | 46 | GPIO | CTS1 | MISO0 | MISO |
P0.18 | 45 | GPIO | DCD1 | MOSI0 | MOSI |
