7.3.2.1 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)

The SPI device variant supports a serial communication bus that allows for an external controller to send and receive data with the DRV8706-Q1. This allows for the external controller to configure device settings and read detailed fault information. The interface is a four wire interface utilizing the SCLK, SDI, SDO, and nSCS pins.

  • The nSCS pin is the chip select input. A logic low signal on this pin enables SPI communication.
  • The SCLK pin is an input which accepts a clock signal to determine when data is captured and propagated on SDI and SDO.
  • The SDI pin is the data input
  • The SDO pin is the data output. The SDO pin uses a push-pull output structure referenced to the DVDD input.

For more information on the SPI, see the SPI Interface section
