Interfacing an SPI RTC with a Motorola DSP
Abstract
This application note provides an example of hardware and software for interfacing a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) RTC with a Motorola DSP that has a built-in SPI interface module. This example uses a Motorola DSP Demo kit as the basis for the circuit.
DS1306 Pin Configuration
Description
The DS1306 real-time clock (RTC) can be interfaced with a microcontroller (µC) or digital signal processing (DSP) unit using a 3-wire or an SPI™ interface. This application note shows how to connect a DS1306 to a Motorola DSP that has a built-in SPI interface module. The DS1305 could also be used in this application. This circuit uses the Motorola DSP56F800DEMO Demonstration Board and CodeWarrior IDE.
Using the Example Software
The example software was developed by starting with a blank project. Follow the instructions in the Motorola Kit Installation Guide (Tutorial: Creating a CodeWarrior Project) for details. Add the code included in this application note in main.c.
Operation
The program uses a GPIO port to control CE on the DS1306. The software initializes the SPI controller module in the DSP writes the time and date to the DS1306. The software then loops reading the time and date. The DS1305 and DS1306 support SPI modes 1 and 3.
Figure 1 shows a schematic of the circuit. This circuit comprises a daughter card that is attached to the Motorola demo board. Please note that the circuit in Figure 1 includes several RTCs with SPI interfaces. Only one RTC may be used at a time, and the software only supports the DS1306. The software is shown in Figure 2.
