7.5.1 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Communication

The SPI version of the device has full duplex, 4-wire synchronous communication. This section describes the SPI protocol, the command structure, and the control and status registers. The device can be connected with the MCU in the following configurations:

  • One slave device
  • Multiple slave devices in parallel connection
  • Multiple slave devices in series (daisy chain) connection
