8-Channel SPI Bus Multiplexer for the Raspberry Pi

  • 8 channels
  • Supports SPI star topology
    • MISO from all slaves are wired together
  • Connects to the SPI pins on the Raspberry Pi
    • SPIMISO -
    • SPIMOSI -
    • SPISCK -
    • SPICE0 -
  • Three GPIO pins select SPI channel
    • GPIO_22 - A0
    • GPIO_27 - A1
    • GPIO_17 - A2

SPI Star Topology

From Practical EE: SPI Bus page:

In Star topology all the signals are split and routed to each slave in parallel, except chip select. Multiple chip select are used to select individual slave devices. More devices support this mode than daisy-chain.

Programming

  • Set channel on GPIO_22 (A0), GPIO_27 (A1), GPIO_17 (A2)
  • Do SPI transfer
