SNLS545E March 2017 – July 2022 LMH1297
PRODUCTION DATA
The LMH1297 supports SPI daisy-chaining among multiple devices, as shown in Figure 8-11.
Each LMH1297 device is directly connected to the SCK and SS_N pins of the host. The first LMH1297 device in the chain is connected to the host’s MOSI pin, and the last device in the chain is connected to the host’s MISO pin. The MOSI pin of each intermediate LMH1297 device in the chain is connected to the MISO pin of the previous LMH1297 device, thereby creating a serial shift register. In a daisy-chain configuration of N × LMH1297 devices, the host conceptually sees a shift register of length 17 × N for a basic SPI transaction, during which SS_N is asserted low for 17 × N clock cycles.
