7.3.5.3 SPI Protocol

The relationship between SDI and SDO content during SPI communication is shown in Figure 7-20. SDI line represents the frame sent from the microcontroller and SDO line is the answer provided by the device.

DRV81620-Q1 Relationship between SDI and SDO during SPI communicationFigure 7-20 Relationship between SDI and SDO during SPI communication

The SPI protocol provides the answer to a command frame only with the next transmission triggered by the microcontroller. Although the biggest majority of commands and frames implemented in the device can be decoded without the knowledge of what happened before, it is advisable to consider what the microcontroller sent in the previous transmission to decode the response frame completely. The sequence of commands to read and write the content of a register looks as follows:

DRV81620-Q1 Register content sent back to microcontrollerFigure 7-21 Register content sent back to microcontroller

There are 3 special situations where the frame sent back to the microcontroller is not related directly to the previous received frame:

  • In case an error in transmission happened during the previous frame (for instance, the clock pulses were not multiple of 8 with a minimum of 16 bits), shown below.

  • When the logic supply comes out of Power-On reset condition or after a Software Reset, as shown below.

  • In case of command syntax errors

    • write command starting with 11b instead of 10b

    • read command starting with 00b instead of 01b

    • read or write commands on registers which are reserved or not used

A summary of all possible SPI commands is presented below, including the answer that the device sends back at the next transmission.
