7.1.2. Reading Data
Input the R/W control bit (R/W=“1”) and 7 bit register address on SI pin in synchronous with the first 8 bits of
the 16 bits of a serial clock input on SK pin. Then AK8963 outputs the data held in the specified register with
MSB first from SO pin.
When clocks are input continuously after one byte of data is read, the address is incremented and data in the
next address is output. Accordingly, after the falling edge of the 15th clock and CSB pin is “L”, the data in the
next address is output on SO pin. When CSB pin is driven “L” to “H”, SO pin is placed in the high-impedance
state.
AK8963 has two incrementation lines; 00H ~ 0CH and 10H ~ 12H. For example, data is read as follows: 00H
-> 01H ... -> 0BH -> 0CH -> 00H -> 01H ..., or 10H -> 11H -> 12H -> 10H …
0DH and 0EH are reserved addresses. Do not access to those addresses. When specified address is other than
00H ~ 12H, AK8963 recognizes that it is not selected and keeps SO pin in high-impedance state. Therefore,
user can use other addresses for other devices.
