General protocol description
iC-LNB’s SPI interface is implemented as an SPI slave
and supports SPI modes 0 and 3, meaning the idle
time at SCK can be 0 or 1. Data is always accepted on
a rising edge at SCK. The idle state of the MISO line is
1; on a rising edge at CS the MOSI signal is switched
through to the MISO signal. Data is sent byte by byte
with the MSB (most significant bit) first.
Each data transmission starts when a 1-byte OPCODE
is sent by the SPI master (Table 10). This OPCODE
selects whether the iC-LNB configuration data (REG-
ISTER) or position data (SDAD) should be accessed,
for instance.
OPCODE description
ACTIVATE
iC-LNB’s register and sensor data channels can be
switched on and off using the ACTIVATE command.
The command causes all slaves to zero their RACTIVE
and PACTIVE registers and to loop this register data
into the data stream between the MOSI and MISO. The
register and sensor or actuator data channels can be
switched on and off using the following data bytes.
After a power-on iC-LNB’s sensor data channel is dis-
abled (PACTIVE = 0) and register communication en-
abled (RACTIVE = 1).

Table 10: SPI Instructions / OPCODES
SPI data transmission takes place as follows:
(Figure 5):
1. The master initializes a transmission on a rising
edge at CS.
2. iC-LNB transfers the level from MOSI to MISO.
3. The master transmits the OPCODE and address
ADR through MOSI; iC-LNB immediately outputs
OPCODE and ADR through MISO.
4. iC-LNB transmits the data requested according
to the address.
5. The master ends the command with a falling
edge at CS.
6. iC-LNB switches its MISO output to 1.

Bytes FAIL, VALID, BUSY, and DISMISS in the STA-
TUS byte are reset by the ACTIVATE command (Table

Table 11: Register com. activation
If RACTIVE is not set, on commands Read REGIS-
TER (cont.), Write to REGISTER (cont.), and REG-
ISTER status/data the ERROR bit is set in the SPI
interface STATUS byte (Table 14), indicating that the
command has not been carried out. The slave imme-
diately outputs the data at MISO which has been sent
by the master through MOSI.
