Abstract

See full text

An electronic device including a multi-protocol serial nonvolatile memory interface is disclosed. The interface includes: a first line operative to perform functions of a first chip select line when the interface operates as a SPI of the electronic device; a second line operative to perform functions of a second chip select line when the interface operates as the SPI of the electronic device; a third line operative to perform functions of a clock line when the interface operates as either the SPI or an I2C interface of the electronic device, and a fourth line configured to perform functions of a mast-out-slave-in (MOSI) line and a master-in-slave-out (MISO) line when the interface operates as the SPI of the electronic device, the fourth line further operative to perform functions of a serial data line when the interface operates as the I2C interface of the electronic device.
