1. Writing a “1” to RWD - bit in ApplRegx restarts the internal watchdog counter.
The clock monitor counts the number of clock pulses during a communication frame (while
CSN is low). If the number of SCK pulses does not correspond with the frame width
indicated in the <SPI-frame-ID> (ROM address 03hex) the frame is ignored and the bit
<frame error> in the <Global Status Byte> is set.
Due to this safety functionality, daisy chaining the SPI is not possible. Instead, a parallel
operation of the SPI bus by controlling the CSN signal of the connected ICs is
recommended.
