SPI Protocol
The control and diagnosis function of the TLE7237GS is based on two register banks which are accessed via
following SPI protocol. The control register bank contains eight registers (with 4 bit each) addressed by a 3 bit
pointer. The diagnosis register bank contains four registers (with 4 bit each) addressed by a 2 bit pointer. An
additional indication bit is available to differentiate between standard diagnosis information and data read from a
register bank.

1) This bit is valid between CS hi -> lo and first SCLK lo -> hi transition.
Note: Reading a register needs two SPI frames. In the first frame the RD command is sent. In the second frame,
the output at SPI signal SO will contain the requested information. Any command can be executed in the
second frame.
