SPI Chip Select Signal Spike

[HDaji.1]

I am using SPI function in Nucleo F411RE.

I use PicoScope to capture SPI signals as showed below:The bottom line is Chip Select (CS). How come there is some random spike when it is supposed be kept low.

My code is showed in the following lines:

void spiWrite() {
	// Write 3 bytes starting at given address
    char spi_buf[6];
 
    // write to register 0x03
    spi_buf[0] = 0x03;  // register address
    spi_buf[1] = 0x0A;
    spi_buf[2] = 0x84;
 
	HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOB, GPIO_PIN_6, GPIO_PIN_RESET);
 
	HAL_SPI_Transmit(&hspi1, (uint8_t *)spi_buf, 3, 100);
 
	HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOB, GPIO_PIN_6, GPIO_PIN_SET);
	delay_us(5);
}

HAL_SPI_Transmit(&hspi1, (uint8_t *)spi_buf, 3, 100);

HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOB, GPIO_PIN_6, GPIO_PIN_SET);

delay_us(5);

}

Probably poor grounding/return.

Also you can try to decrease the SCK/MOSI slew rate/GPIO drive (GPIO_OSPEEDR setting).

I only connect SPI pins to PicoScope pins, I didn't forget to connect GND pin. No slave connection yet.

Where to set GPIO_OSPEEDR setting?

BTW, I tested a case where spi_transmit is not called. I just toggle the CS pin in fast speed (us gap). There is no spike.

I see above more signals to change at the same time. Try toggling more pins at once.

As I've said, the slew rate of the signals edge is what matters here, not pulse length.

I don't know, this is your program. I don't use Cube. Probably where other attributes of given pin are set.

You are right. Just now I double-checked my wiring. GND pin is wrongly connected.
