PRODUCTION DATA
The AFEx81H1 communicate with the system controller through a serial interface that supports either a UART-compatible two-wire bus or an SPI-compatible bus. Based on the hardware configuration, either interface can be enabled. Figure 7-26 and Figure 7-27 show the configurations to enable SPI mode and UART break mode (UBM), respectively. The SPI supports an 8-bit frame-by-frame CRC that is enabled by default, but can be disabled by the user. UBM does not support CRC, but does support the UART protocol parity bit.
The AFEx81H1 are designed to leverage the existing firmware for communication with DACs or HART modems. A special SPI- and UART-capable dual mode of communication that is available to enable firmware reuse from discrete HART architecture is shown in Figure 7-28. See Section 7.5.1.3 for more details.
