Enhanced SPI Master / Slave Controller w/FIFO (APB, AHB, or AXI Bus)
The Digital Blocks DB-eSPI-MS is a Serial Port Interface (SPI) Controller Verilog IP Core supporting both Master/Slave SPI Bus transfers. The DB-eSPI-MS contains an AMBA AXI, AHB, or APB Bus Interface for interfacing a microprocessor to external SPI Master/Slave devices.
The DB-eSPI-MS contains Transmit/Receive FIFOs and Finite State Machine control with status & interrupt capability to fully off-load from the microprocessor the transfer of data over the SPI Bus. Optionally, the user can transfer transmitted or received data from the SPI Bus to user memory via an optional DMA Controller.
The DB-eSPI-MS supports the addition of Enhanced SPI (eSPI) bus transfers to the standard SPI Master/Slave Controller.

Benefits
- The DB-eSPI-MS Controller IP Core targets embedded processor applications with high performance algorithm requirements. While most SPI controllers require high processor interaction involvement, the DB-eSPI-MS contains a parameterized FIFO and Finite State Machine Control for the processor to off-load the SPI transfer to the DB-eSPI-MS Controller. Thus, while the DB-eSPI-MS is busy, independently controlling the SPI Transmit or Receive transaction of data, the processor can go off and complete other tasks. The DB-eSPI-MS Controller adds eSPI Master transaction support to SPI Master/Slave transactions.
