6.5.2 Daisy-Chain Operation

For systems that contain several DACx1401 devices, the SDO pin can be used to daisy-chain devices together. The daisy-chain feature is useful in reducing the number of serial interface lines. The SDO pin must be enabled by setting the SDO-EN bit in the SPICONFIG register before initiating daisy-chain operation.

The first falling edge on the SYNC pin starts the operation cycle (see Figure 6-4). If more than 24 clock pulses are applied while the SYNC pin is kept low, the data ripple out of the shift register and are clocked out on the SDO pin, either on the falling edge or rising edge of SCLK according to the FSDO bit. By connecting the SDO output of the first device to the SDI input of the next device in the chain, a multiple-device interface is constructed (Figure 6-3).

Each device in the system requires 24 clock pulses. As a result the total number of clock cycles must be equal to 24 × N, where N is the total number of devices in the daisy chain. When the serial transfer to all devices is complete the SYNC signal is taken high. This action transfers the data from the SPI shift registers to the internal register of each device in the daisy chain, and prevents any further data from being clocked into the input shift register.
