PRODUCTION DATA
Stack Read:
The device address, COMM_CTRL[STACK_DEV] bit and [TOP_STACK] bit must be configured before using this command. A stack read command generates a number of response frames depending on the number of devices in the stack (that is, device with COMM_CTRL[STACK_DEV] = 1), whose length depends on the requested number of register bytes read. The stack read command frame must contain the register address to start at (address field) and the number of bytes to return (number of registers to read). The DATA_SIZE field in the initialization byte for the read command is always 0b000.
The command frame travels to all devices in the daisy chain, but only the device with COMM_CTRL[STACK_DEV] = 1 will respond. During the response, the device with COMM_CTRL[TOP_STACK] = 1 will return the response frame first. Each device (address N) in the stack waits until the device above (address N+1) responds before appending its response frame. The CRC is validated while receiving the responses. If a CRC error occurs in the response frame from address N+1, device N does not append its message and an invalid CRC fault is generated.
Use Figure 9-29 with the example of using reading 16 cell voltages from S1 to S3. The response to this command is 3 separate response frames (one response frame per device), each frame with a total length of 38 bytes (32 data bytes + 6 protocol bytes). Although the stack read command does not contain the device address field, each response frame will contain the corresponding device address field associating the data to a particular device. The host will receive a response frame from S3 first (ToS), following with a response frame from S2, and finally the response frame from S1.
Stack Write:
The COMM_CTRL[STACK_DEV] must be configured before using this command. A stack write command enables the host to update up to eight consecutive registers for the stack devices (that is, device with COMM_CTRL[STACK_DEV] = 1) with one command. The command frame must contain the register address to start at (address field) and the data bytes to write to the registers. The DATA_SIZE field in the initialization frame is the number of registers to update.
The command frame travels to all devices in the daisy chain, but only the device with COMM_CTRL[STACK_DEV] = 1 will execute the command.
