Introduction
This sample application demonstrates the SPI communication between CM-X300 and Maxim Semiconductor DS1722 thermometer. The DS1722 manual is available at: DS1722 manual.
The Windows CE demo image includes the SPI driver, which allows direct access to SSP3 functionality.
SPI Sample
Connecting the device to CM-X300
- The SPI device can be connected to the SSP3 port available on connector P6 on SB-X300. The following table describes the connector pin-out:
Signal Name | Pin Number |
SSP3_TXD | 5 |
SSP3_RXD | 7 |
SSP3_CLK | 3 |
SSP3_SFRM | 1 |
- Connect pin 6 (SERMODE) of DS1722 to VDD.
- Connect all remaining DS1722 pins to VDD and GND according to the device datasheet.
SPI Sample
The SPI Sample performs the following actions:
- Configure the SPI clock frequency (5KHz) and SFRM signal polarity.
- Read the temperature measurement.
- Write to the DS1722 configuration register.
- Read back from the configuration register.
SPI Driver
Overview
The CM-X300 SPI driver is a stream driver that may be accessed using the "SPI" prefix.

Data Types
SPI_SLAVE_CONFIG
Device configuration structure
Fields
Name |
Description
|
---|---|
DWORD dwDataSize | Size of each data frame in bits, allowed values: [4,32] |
DWORD dwClockRate | Frequency in KHz. Allowed values: [4,13*1024] |
POLARITY ClockPol | Clock polarity |
POLARITY ChipSelectPol | SFRM polarity |
BOOL bTxTristate | Tristate TX line when SFRM is de-asserted |
BOOL ClkPhaseHalfCycle | TRUE - CLK remains in its inactive/idle state until one-half clock cycle after the SFRM signal is asserted at the beginning of a frame. FALSE - CLK remains in its inactive/idle state until one full clock cycle after the SFRM signal is asserted at the beginning of a frame. |
BOOL bCSExternal | SFRM is a GPIO |
DWORD dwGpioNum | GPIO number for SFRM |
Remarks
- bCSExternal is not supported in CM-X300

Functions
HANDLE SPIUserOpen()
Opens an instance of the SPI Bus Driver.
Return Values
- Returns a handle that should be used to access the driver. Nonzero indicates success.
VOID SPIUserClose (HANDLE hDevice)
Closes the driver handle
Parameters
- hDevice - Handle to an open SPI bus instance
BOOL SPIUserSetConfiguration(HANDLE hDevice, SPI_SLAVE_CONFIG* Settings)
Registers the configuration of the device.
Parameters
- hDevice - Handle to an open SPI bus instance
- Settings - The SPI device configuration
Return Values
- TRUE - indicates success.
Remarks
- The device specific configuration is passed to the SPI controller immediately before the transaction starts. The driver keeps the configuration between calls to this function or until the SPI bus handle is closed
BOOL SPIUserTransact (HANDLE hDevice, SPITRANS* pTrans)
Submits SPI data transaction to the target device
Parameters
- hDevice - Handle to an open SPI bus instance
- pTrans - pointer to data structures containing data buffers for the transaction
Return Values
- TRUE - indicates success.
Remarks
- The SPI transaction data buffers must be allocated and released by the user
