USB-8451 Can it be confgured to be a SPI Slave

[ajharris79]

Can the USB-8451 be configure so that it is a "SPI Slave" and not a Master with SPI_CLK being sourced from an external device?

Thanks

Howdy ajharris79,

Unfortunately, the USB-8451 only functions as a master device and cannot function as a slave or monitor the bus. If you need this functionality, please file a product suggestion at the National Instruments Product Suggestion Center. This is already being considered for a future I2C/SPI product release.

I thought so

For those intrested there is Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adaptor, Part Number: TP240141,

Although this has limited clocked speeds.
