ZHCSCL7C May 2014 – April 2021 AFE4403
PRODUCTION DATA
The SPI-compatible serial interface consists of four signals: SCLK (serial clock), SPISOMI (serial interface data output), SPISIMO (serial interface data input), and SPISTE (serial interface enable).
The serial clock (SCLK) is the serial peripheral interface (SPI) serial clock. SCLK shifts in commands and shifts out data from the device. SCLK features a Schmitt-triggered input and clocks data out on the SPISOMI. Data are clocked in on the SPISIMO pin. Even though the input has hysteresis, TI recommends keeping SCLK as clean as possible to prevent glitches from accidentally shifting the data. When the serial interface is idle, hold SCLK low.
The SPI serial out master in (SPISOMI) pin is used with SCLK to clock out the AFE4403 data. The SPI serial in master out (SPISIMO) pin is used with SCLK to clock in data to the AFE4403. The SPI serial interface enable (SPISTE) pin enables the serial interface to clock data on the SPISIMO pin in to the device.
