Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram showing a connection between a master control unit and a slave driving unit using existing SPI communication.

Referring to FIG. 1, when the number of slave drivers is N, a serial peripheral interface (SPI) structure including N slave select lines is shown. The SPI interface is a high-speed synchronous serial communication system with four communication lines, which is faster and simpler than an I2C that supports the same multi-slave communication.

Referring to FIG. 1, the SPI interface device includes a master controller 10 and a plurality of slave drivers 20, 30, and 40 connected through a SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface).

The master control unit 10 and the plurality of slave driving units 20, 30 and 40 each comprise four communication ports. The four communication ports include a clock transmission line SCK (SPI Clock) Slave select lines SS1 to SSn, a master in slave out (MISO) line for data transmission, and a master out slave in line (MOSI).

The slave selecting lines SS1 to SSn are connected to the lines of the slave driving units 20 to 30 in a one-to-one correspondence manner and the slave selecting lines SS1 to SSn are connected to the slave driving units 20, And activates each of the slave driving units 20, 30, and 40.

The conventional SPI structure is configured such that when there are N slave driving units 20, 30 and 40, N master slave selecting lines (or 30, 40) are selected for communication selection to the slave driving units 20, 30 and 40 in the master control unit 10 SS1 to SSn) are required, the number of slave selection ports of the master control unit increases as the number of slave driving units increases.

That is, if the number of the slave driving units is increased, the number of the slave selecting lines SS1 to SSn must be increased proportionally, and the manufacturing cost is increased.

In the general SPI interface configuration, the number of slave selection ports and signal lines is increased by N because the number ratio of the master control section and the slave driving section is 1: 1 or 1: N, but the number of the master control section and the slave driving sections Even if the ratio is 1: N, only four communication lines can be constructed.

2 is a block diagram illustrating a connection between a master control unit and a slave driving unit of the SPI interface apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. 3 is a timing diagram showing the transition point of the clock transmission signal and the transition point of the slave selection signal.

Referring to FIG. 2, the interface apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of slave drivers 200, 300, and 400 connected to the master controller 100 through a serial peripheral interface (SPI) scheme.

The master control unit 100 and the plurality of slave driving units 200, 300 and 400 each have four communication ports. The four communication ports include a clock transmission line SCK Clock, a slave select line (SS), a master in slave out line (MIS0) for data transmission, and a master out slave in line (MOSI). Here, the plurality of slave driving units 200, 300, and 400 are connected to the master control unit 100 using a common slave selecting line SS.

2, only one slave selection line SS is formed in the slave selection line SS regardless of the number of slaves, and the master control unit 100 and the plurality of slave driving units 200, 300, And a slave selection line SS are also connected in common.

Specifically, in the conventional SPI interface structure, if it is determined whether or not the individual slave selection lines connected to the respective slave driving units are activated to determine whether or not the communication bus is occupied, in the SPI interface structure according to the present invention, To the slave driving units 200, 300, and 400, respectively.

Referring to FIG. 3, each of the slave drivers 200, 300, and 400 uses predetermined timing information to determine a transition point of a clock transmission signal transmitted through a clock transmission line SCK, (SS-SCK) between transition points of the slave selection signal transmitted through the slave SS to determine whether the slave driver selected by the master control unit 100 is the slave.

Each of the slave driving units 200, 300, and 400 may calculate a time difference between the transition point of the clock transmission signal and the transition point of the slave selection signal to determine whether the slave driving unit 200 is the selected slave driving unit, And performs an operation in accordance with an operation signal of the control unit 100.

Specifically, for example, when using an SPI interface device at a 10 MHz rate, the maximum value of the time difference value T (SS-SCK) is 100 ns. When 10 slave driving units are used, the range of the time difference value T (SS-SCK) assigned to each slave driving unit is a value obtained by dividing the maximum value (100 ns) by 10, which is 10 ns. According to this, if the range of the calculated time difference value T (SS-SCK) is 0 to 10 ns, the first slave driver is selected. If the range of the time difference value T (SS-SCK) is 10 ns to 20 ns, The slave drive unit can be selected.

According to this method, if the range of the time difference value T (SS-SCK) is 20 ns to 30 ns, the third slave driver is selected and the range of the time difference value T (SS-SCK) , The tenth slave driver can be selected.

That is, the SPI interface device according to the present invention is connected to a master control unit 100 and a plurality of slave driving units 200, 300, and 400 via a common slave selection line SS, And may appear differently in the slave drivers 200, 300, and 400. The master control unit 100 provides a clock transmission signal to the plurality of slave driving units 200, 300 and 400 and provides a slave selecting signal whose transition point is changed to output a slave selecting signal to the slave driving units 200, (T (SS-SCK)) between the transition point and the transition point of the slave selection signal.

The SPI interface apparatus according to the present invention calculates the time difference value (T (SS-SCK)) between the transition point of the clock transmission signal and the transition point of the slave selection signal in each of the slave drivers 200, 300 and 400, (200, 300, 400).

Different time difference values T (SS-SCK) may be stored in advance in each of the plurality of slave drivers 200, 300 and 400, and a time difference value T (SS-SCK) It can be determined whether or not the selected slave drive unit is the selected slave drive unit.

4 is a block diagram illustrating a connection between a master control unit and a slave drive unit of an SPI interface apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention. For the sake of convenience of description, description of portions substantially the same as those of the SPI interface apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 4, the SPI interface apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of slave drivers 200, 300, and 400 connected to the master controller 100 through an SPI scheme, And a plurality of operation units 250, 350, and 450 connected to the plurality of operation units.

The master control unit 100 and the plurality of slave driving units 200, 300, and 400 are configured substantially the same as those described above.

Each of the plurality of operation units 250 350 and 450 receives a time difference value T (SS-T) between the transition point of the clock transmission signal transmitted to the corresponding slave drive unit 200, 300 or 400 and the transition point of the slave selection signal, SCK) can be calculated.

That is, the configuration of the module for calculating the time difference value T (SS-SCK) may be added in a separate configuration. At this time, different time difference values T (SS-SCK) may be stored in advance in the respective operation units 250, 350, and 450, and the time difference values T (SS-SCK) It is possible to determine the selected slave drive unit among the slave drive units 200, 300, and 400 connected to the respective operation units 250, 350, and 450.

5 is a flowchart sequentially illustrating a communication method using an SPI interface according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, a plurality of slave drivers 200, 300, and 400 are provided with a clock transmission signal and a slave selection signal from the master controller 100 (S101).

Subsequently, each of the slave driving units 200, 300, and 400 calculates a time difference value T (SS-SCK) between the transition point of the clock transmission signal and the transition point of the slave selection signal (S102).

Subsequently, it is determined whether the time difference value T (SS-SCK) calculated within the range of the time difference value T (SS-SCK) preset for each of the slave drivers 200, 300 and 400 is included (S103). Accordingly, the selected slave driving unit performs an appropriate operation according to the operation signal provided from the master control unit 100 (S104).

Since the ranges of the time difference values T (SS-SCK) previously set for the slave drivers 200, 300 and 400 are set to be different from each other, the slave driver can be selected according to the calculated time difference value T (SS-SCK) .

According to the present invention, the time difference value between the clock transmission signal transmitted through the clock transmission line (SCK) and the transition point of each slave selection signal transmitted through the slave selection line (SS) is calculated, It is possible to reduce the number of slave selection lines SS connecting the master control unit 100 and the plurality of slave driving units 200, 300 and 400 to one.

Thus, there is no restriction on the number of slave driving units that can be supported according to the number of slave selecting lines, and a single communication line related to the slave selecting line is used, so that the complexity in the circuit configuration can be reduced.

In addition, SPI communication can be efficiently performed while reducing manufacturing cost by reducing the number of ports and communication lines.

The steps of a method or algorithm described in connection with the embodiments of the invention may be embodied directly in hardware, in a software module executed by a processor, or in a combination of the two. The software module may reside in RAM memory, flash memory, ROM memory, EPROM memory, EEPROM memory, registers, a hard disk, a removable disk, a CD-ROM, or any other form of recording medium known in the art.
