Figure 10: 4-wire basic SPI read sequence (mode “11”)

The data bits are used as follows:

Bit0: Read/Write bit. When 0, the data SDI is written into the chip. When 1, the data SDO from

the chip is read.

Bit1-7: Address AD(6:0).

Bit8-15: when in write mode, these are the data SDI, which will be written into the address. When

in read mode, these are the data SDO, which are read from the address.

Multiple read operations are possible by keeping CSB low and continuing the data transfer. Only

the first register address has to be written. Addresses are automatically incremented after each

read access as long as CSB stays active low.

The principle of multiple read is shown in Figure 11:

Figure 11: SPI multiple read

In SPI 3-wire configuration CSB (chip select low active), SCK (serial clock), and SDI (serial data

input and output) pins are used. The communication starts when the CSB is pulled low by the SPI

master and stops when CSB is pulled high. SCK is also controlled by SPI master. SDI is driven

(when used as input of the device) at the falling edge of SCK and should be captured (when used

as the output of the device) at the rising edge of SCK.

The protocol as such is the same in 3-wire configuration as it is in 4-wire configuration. The basic

operation waveform (read or write access) for 3-wire configuration is depicted in Figure 12:
