CS is the serial port enable and it is controlled by the SPI master. It goes low at the start of

the transmission and goes back high at the end. SPC is the serial port clock and it is

controlled by the SPI master. It is stopped high when CS is high (no transmission). SDI and

SDO are respectively the serial port data input and output. Those lines are driven at the

falling edge of SPC and should be captured at the rising edge of SPC.

Both the read register and write register commands are completed in 16 clock pulses or in

multiples of 8 in case of multiple read/write bytes. Bit duration is the time between two falling

edges of SPC. The first bit (bit 0) starts at the first falling edge of SPC after the falling edge

of CS while the last bit (bit 15, bit 23, ...) starts at the last falling edge of SPC just before the

rising edge of CS.

bit 0: RW bit. When 0, the data DI(7:0) is written into the device. When 1, the data DO(7:0)

from the device is read. In latter case, the chip will drive SDO at the start of bit 8.

bit 1-7: address AD(6:0). This is the address field of the indexed register.

bit 8-15: data DI(7:0) (write mode). This is the data that is written into the device (MSb first).

bit 8-15: data DO(7:0) (read mode). This is the data that is read from the device (MSb first).

In multiple read/write commands additional blocks of 8 clock periods will be added. When

the CTRL2 (21h) (IF_ADD_INC) bit is ‘0’, the address used to read/write data remains the

same for every block. When the CTRL2 (21h) (IF_ADD_INC) bit is ‘1’, the address used to

read/write data is increased at every block.

The function and the behavior of SDI and SDO remain unchanged.

SPI read

Figure 15. SPI read protocol

The SPI read command is performed with 16 clock pulses. A multiple byte read command is

performed by adding blocks of 8 clock pulses to the previous one.

bit 0: READ bit. The value is 1.

bit 1-7: address AD(6:0). This is the address field of the indexed register.

bit 8-15: data DO(7:0) (read mode). This is the data that will be read from the device (MSb

first).

bit 16-... : data DO(...-8). Additional data in multiple byte reads.
