The ADS131A0x allows the designer to add channels to the system by placing an additional device on the SPI bus. The first device in the chain of devices can be configured using any of the interface modes. All subsequent devices must be configured in synchronous slave mode. In all cases, however, the chain of ADS131A0x devices appear to the host as a single device with extra channels with the exception that each device sends individual status and data integrity words. In this manner, no additional pins on the host are required for more devices on the chain. There are no special provisions that must be made in the interface except for extending the frame to the appropriate length.
