DESPI - Enhanced Serial Peripheral Interface (eSPI)

DCD-SEMI

Select

The DESPI is a fully configurable eSPI master/slave device supporting all features described in Enhanced Serial Peripheral Interface Base Specification rev. 1.0. The DESPI master is to be used by the microcontroller to communicate with eSPI peripheral devices. The DESPI slave is to be used as an eSPI peripheral device, e.g. an Embedded Controller attached to the Intel CPU system.

Key Features

  • Compliant with eSPI base specification as defined in Enhanced Serial Peripheral Interface (eSPI) Specification rev.1.0
  • Supports Master and Slave Modes
  • Supports Single, Dual and Quad modes
  • Supports TX and RX operation as per specs
  • Support for Command Phase, Turn-Around Phase, Response Phase
  • Baud Rate selection
  • Slave Triggered Transactions
  • Power management Event
  • Interrupts and Alerts
  • In-band reset
  • Support for multiple channels: Peripheral channel, Virtual wire Channel, OOB Message (Tunneled SMBus) Channel, Run-time Flash Access Channel
  • Various Master/Slave errors detection
