SLLA578 June 2022 TLIN1431-Q1
The operational control mode of the TLIN1431-Q1 is determined during startup based on the configuration of pin 7 of the device, the PIN/nCS pin. Once the device starts up into either pin control or SPI control, it cannot switch to the other control mode without a power-on reset. Thus, start-up is the most important consideration in determining how the TLIN1431-Q1 behaves.
When the PIN/nCS pin is pulled to GND as shown in Figure 1-1, the device starts up in pin control. See Section 2 for configuration in pin control.
When left floating or when pulled to VCC as shown in Figure 1-2, the device operates in SPI control. See Section 3 for a configuration in SPI control, and see Section 1.1 regarding operational voltage selection for the TLIN14315-Q1 (5 V version of the device), which operates without the need for a VIO pin to determine logic-level voltages.
