(EN) The present invention discloses an SPI controller and a method for operating the SPI controller. The SPI controller comprises: an SPI clock signal generator configured to generate an SPI clock signal;a register set configured to store the SPI working configuration of the SPI controller; a plurality of SPI pins configured to be connected to one or more SPI peripherals; an input and output controller configured to execute data input or output between the SPI controller and the SPI peripheral according to the SPI clock signal and the SPI working configuration; and an SPI state machine configuredto control the working state of the SPI controller, wherein the SPI controller is electrically coupled to a CPU, a DMA controller and a system memory which are located outside the SPI controller through a bus, and the input and output controller is further configured to receive the updated SPI work configuration from the DMA controller and update the updated SPI work configuration into the register set between two consecutive SPI transmissions.
