Design Trade-offs
- Functionality: Full SPI controller with APB
interface
- Performance: Configurable SPI clock rates
- Flexibility: Multi-slave support and FIFO
buffering
- Power: Optimized for low-power operation
Technology Considerations
Standard Cell Mapping
SPI Controller maps to standard cell library: - Combinational gates
(AND, OR, XOR, MUX) - Sequential elements (DFF, DFFE) - Compatible with
most CMOS processes
Power Considerations
- Static Power: Minimal (mostly combinational
logic)
- Dynamic Power: Proportional to SPI clock
frequency
- Clock Power: APB clock + SPI clock domains
- I/O Power: SPI interface switching activity
