Figure 10. RX Output Circuitry

8.6 MODE Input EN

Device is switched from standby mode to normal mode with a rising edge at the EN pin. The mode change for AS8520 with a falling edge at EN

can be done independently from the state of the bus transceiver. Device enters into Serial port mode (for factory test purpose only) by forcing EN

This ensures the direct control of device to enter into Standby/Sleep mode by microcontroller using EN pin.

Figure 11. EN Pin Functionality

The EN input has an internal active pull down to secure that if this pin is not connected, a low level will be generated.
