ADGS1208/ADGS1209

Data Sheet

Rev. 0 | Page 24 of 33

The ADGS1208/ADGS1209 can only enter daisy-chain mode

when in address mode by sending the 16-bit SPI command,

0x2500 (see Figure 50). When the ADGS1208/ADGS1209

receive this command, the SDO of the device sends out the

same command because the alignment bits at SDO are 0x25,

which allows multiple daisy-connected devices to enter daisy-

chain mode in a single SPI frame. A hardware reset is required to

exit daisy-chain mode.

For the timing diagram of a typical daisy-chain SPI frame, see

Figure 51. When CS goes high, Device 1 writes Command 0,

Bits[7:0] to its switch data register, Device 2 writes Command 1,

Bits[7:0] to its switches, and so on. The SPI block uses the last

eight bits it received through SDI to update the switches. After

entering daisy chain mode, the first eight bits sent out by SDO

on each device in the chain are 0x00. When CS goes high, the

internal shift register value does not reset back to 0.

An SCLK rising edge reads in data on SDI while data is

propagated out of SDO on an SCLK falling edge. The expected

number of SCLK cycles must be a multiple of eight before CS

goes high. When this is not the case, the SPI interface sends the

last eight bits received to the switch data register.

POWER-ON RESET

The digital section of the ADGS1208/ADGS1209 goes through an

a reset, ensure that a minimum of 120 µs from the time of

power-up or reset before any SPI command is issued. Ensure

because it may result in incorrect operation of the

ADGS1208/ADGS1209.
