EFM8BB3 Data Sheet
System Overview
Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART1)
UART1 is an asynchronous, full duplex serial port offering a variety of data formatting options. A dedicated baud rate generator with a
16-bit timer and selectable prescaler is included, which can generate a wide range of baud rates. A received data FIFO allows UART1
to receive multiple bytes before data is lost and an overflow occurs.
UART1 provides the following features:
• Asynchronous transmissions and receptions
• Dedicated baud rate generator supports baud rates up to SYSCLK/2 (transmit) or SYSCLK/8 (receive)
• 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 bit data
• Automatic start and stop generation
• Automatic parity generation and checking
• Single-byte buffer on transmit and receive
• Auto-baud detection
• LIN break and sync field detection
• CTS / RTS hardware flow control
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI0)
The serial peripheral interface (SPI) module provides access to a flexible, full-duplex synchronous serial bus. The SPI can operate as a
master or slave device in both 3-wire or 4-wire modes, and supports multiple masters and slaves on a single SPI bus. The slave-select
(NSS) signal can be configured as an input to select the SPI in slave mode, or to disable master mode operation in a multi-master
environment, avoiding contention on the SPI bus when more than one master attempts simultaneous data transfers. NSS can also be
configured as a firmware-controlled chip-select output in master mode, or disabled to reduce the number of pins required. Additional
general purpose port I/O pins can be used to select multiple slave devices in master mode.
• Supports 3- or 4-wire master or slave modes
• Supports external clock frequencies up to 12 Mbps in master or slave mode
• Support for all clock phase and polarity modes
• 8-bit programmable clock rate (master)
• Programmable receive timeout (slave)
• Two byte FIFO on transmit and receive
• Can operate in suspend or snooze modes and wake the CPU on reception of a byte
• Support for multiple masters on the same data lines
System Management Bus / I2C (SMB0)
The SMBus I/O interface is a two-wire, bi-directional serial bus. The SMBus is compliant with the System Management Bus Specifica-
tion, version 1.1, and compatible with the I²C serial bus.
The SMBus module includes the following features:
• Standard (up to 100 kbps) and Fast (400 kbps) transfer speeds
• Support for master, slave, and multi-master modes
• Hardware synchronization and arbitration for multi-master mode
• Clock low extending (clock stretching) to interface with faster masters
• Hardware support for 7-bit slave and general call address recognition
• Firmware support for 10-bit slave address decoding
• Ability to inhibit all slave states
• Programmable data setup/hold times
• Transmit and receive buffers to help increase throughput in faster applications
