Features
•
Fast synchronous serial interface to connect power switches in particular, or other
peripheral devices via serial buses
•
High-speed synchronous serial transmission on downstream channel
– Serial output clock frequency:
f
FCL
=
f
MSC
/2
– Fractional clock divider for precise frequency control of serial clock
f
MSC
– Command, data, and passive frame types
– Start of serial frame: Software-controlled, timer-controlled, or free-running
– Programmable upstream data frame length (16 or 12 bits)
– Transmission with or without SEL bit
– Flexible chip select generation indicates status during serial frame transmission
– Emergency stop without CPU intervention
•
Low-speed asynchronous serial reception on upstream channel
– Baud rate:
f
MSC
divided by 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256
– Standard asynchronous serial frames
– Parity error checker
– 8-to-1 input multiplexer for SDI lines
– Built-in spike filter on SDI lines
