ABSTRACT:
A serial interface for communicating with peripherals may include a circuit for generating pointers to addresses in sections of a memory, and a circuit for serially transferring data from or to at least one peripheral connected to the interface that is coupled to the memory based upon requisite configuration commands. The interface may further include a control register coupled to the memory and to the serial transfer circuit for controlling data to be transmitted or received. The interface does not require that an external controller provide configuration commands each time data is transmitted or received because the memory sections for storing data may be divided in distinct memory spaces. That is, each memory space may store data for a respective peripheral connected to the interface. Moreover, another memory section may be used to store all of the configuration commands of the interface required for communicating with the peripherals.
