Figure 7-41 SSC0 Full Duplex Configuration
The data output pins MRST of all slave devices are connected together onto the one
receive line in this configuration. During a transfer; each slave shifts out data from its shift
register. There are two ways to avoid collisions on the receive line due to different slave
data:
• Only one slave drives the line , e.g. enables the driver of its MRST pin. All the other
slaves have to program their MRST pins to input. So only one slave can put its data
onto the master’s receive line. Only receiving of data from the master is possible. The
master selects the slave device from which it expects data either by separate select
lines, or by sending a special command to this slave. The selected slave then switches
its MRST line to output, until it gets a deselection signal or command.
• The slaves use open drain output on MRST . This forms a wired-AND connection.
The receive line needs an external pullup in this case. Corruption of the data on the
receive line sent by the selected slave is avoided, when all slaves which are not
selected for transmission to the master only send ones (‘1’). Since this high level is not
actively driven onto the line, but only held through the pullup device, the selected slave
can actively pull this line to a low level when transmitting a zero bit. The master selects
