THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADGS1412 is a set of serially controlled, quad SPST switches
with error detection features. SPI Mode 0 and Mode 3 can be
used with the device, and it operates with SCLK frequencies up
to 50 MHz. The default mode for the ADGS1412 is address mode
in which the registers of the device are accessed by a 16-bit SPI
command that is bounded by CS. The SPI command becomes
24 bit if the user enables CRC error detection. Other error detection
features include SCLK count error and invalid read/write error.
If any of these SPI interface errors occur, they are detectable by
reading the error flags register. The ADGS1412 can also operate
in two other modes, namely burst mode and daisy-chain mode.
The interface pins of the ADGS1412 are CS, SCLK, SDI, and SDO.
Hold CS low when using the SPI interface. Data is captured on
the SDI on the rising edge of SCLK, and data is propagated out on
the SDO on the falling edge of SCLK. SDO has an open-drain
output; thus, connect a pull-up to this output. When not pulled
low by the ADGS1412, SDO is in a high impedance state.
ADDRESS MODE
Address mode is the default mode for the ADGS1412 upon
power up. A single SPI frame in address mode is bounded by
a CS falling edge and the succeeding CS rising edge. It is comprised
of 16 SCLK cycles. The timing diagram for address mode is shown
in Figure 39. The first SDI bit indicates if the SPI command is a
read or write command. When the first bit is set to 0, a write
command is issued, and if the first bit is set to 1, a read command
is issued. The next seven bits determine the target register address.
The remaining eight bits provide the data to the addressed register.
The last eight bits are ignored during a read command, because
during these clock cycles, SDO propagates out the data contained
in the addressed register.
The target register address of an SPI command is determined on
the eighth SCLK rising edge. Data from this register propagates out
on SDO from the 9th to the 16th SCLK falling edge during SPI
reads. A register write occurs on the 16th SCLK rising edge
during SPI writes.
During any SPI command, SDO sends out eight alignment bits
on the first eight SCLK falling edges. The alignment bits observed
at SDO are 0x25.
ERROR DETECTION FEATURES
Protocol and communication errors on the SPI interface are
detectable. There are three detectable errors, which are incorrect
SCLK count error detection, invalid read/write address error
detection, and CRC error detection. Each of these errors has a
corresponding enable bit in the error configuration register. In
addition, there is an error flag bit for each of these errors in the
error flags register.
Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) Error Detection
The CRC error detection feature extends a valid SPI frame by
8 SCLK cycles. These eight extra cycles are needed to send the CRC
byte for that SPI frame. The CRC byte is calculated by the SPI block
using the 16-bit payload: the R/W bit, Register Address Bits[6:0],
and Register Data Bits[7:0]. The CRC polynomial used in the
SPI block is x8 + x2 + x1 + 1 with a seed value of 0. For a timing
diagram with CRC enabled, see Figure 40. Register writes occur
at the 24th SCLK rising edge with CRC error checking enabled.
During an SPI write, the microcontroller/central processing
unit (CPU) provides the CRC byte through SDI. The SPI block
checks the CRC byte just before the 24th SCLK rising edge. On
this same edge, the register write is prevented if an incorrect CRC
byte is received by the SPI interface. The CRC error flag is
asserted in the error flags register in the case of the incorrect
CRC byte being detected.
During an SPI read, the CRC byte is provided to the microcon-
troller through SDO.
The CRC error detection feature is disabled by default and can
be configured by the user through the error configuration register.
