4.0 SERIAL MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACE BLOCK
The Serial Microprocessor Interface uses a standard 3-pin serial port with CS, SCLK, and SDI for programming
the device. Optional pins such as SDO, INT, and RESET allow the ability to read back contents of the registers,
monitor the device via an interrupt pin, and reset the device to its default configuration by pulling reset "Low"
for more than 10ns. A simplified block diagram of the Serial Microprocessor Interface is shown in Figure 17.

4.1 SERIAL TIMING INFORMATION
The serial port requires 16 bits of data applied to the SDI (Serial Data Input) pin. The Serial Microprocessor
Interface samples SDI on the rising edge of SCLK (Serial Clock Input). The data is not latched into the device
until all 16 bits of serial data have been sampled. A timing diagram of the Serial Microprocessor Interface is
shown in Figure 18.

NOTE: The serial microprocessor interface does NOT support "burst write" or "burst read" operations. Chip Select (active
"Low") must be de-asserted at the end of each write or read operation.
