ISL22424
controlled by the host or master. The ISL22424 operates
only as a slave device.
All communication over the SPI interface is conducted by
sending the MSB of each byte of data first.
Protocol Conventions
The SPI protocol contains Instruction Byte followed by one
or more Data Bytes. A valid Instruction Byte contains
instruction as the three MSBs, with the following five register
address bits (see Table 3).
The next byte sent to the ISL22424 is the Data Byte.
TABLE 3. INSTRUCTION BYTE FORMAT
Write Operation
A Write operation to the ISL22424 is a two or more bytes
operation. First, It requires, the CS transition from HIGH to
LOW. Then host must send a valid Instruction Byte followed
by one or more Data Bytes to SDI pin. The host terminates
the write operation by pulling the CS pin from LOW to HIGH.
Instruction is executed on rising edge of CS. For a write-to
address 0 or 1, the MSB of the byte at address 10h (ACR[7])
determines if the Data Byte is to be written to volatile or both
volatile and non-volatile registers. Refer to “Memory
Description” and Figure 16. Note: the internal non-volatile
write cycle starts with the rising edge of CS and requires up
to 20ms. During non-volatile write cycle the read operation to
ACR register is allowed to check WIP bit.

Table 4 contains a valid instruction set for ISL22424.
There are only sixteen register addresses possible for this
DCP. If the [R4:R0] bits are 00000 or 00001, then the read or
write is to either the IVRi or the WRi registers (depends of
VOL bit at ACR). If the [R4:R0] are 10000, then the
operation is on the ACR.
Read Operation
A Read operation to the ISL22424 is a four byte operation. It
requires first, the CS transition from HIGH to LOW. Then the
host must send a valid Instruction Byte followed by “dummy”
Data Byte, a NOP Instruction Byte and another “dummy”
Data Byte to SDI pin. The SPI host receives the Instruction
Byte (instruction code + register address) and requested
Data Byte from SDO pin on rising edge of SCK during third
and fourth bytes respectively. The host terminates the read
operation by pulling the CS pin from LOW to HIGH (see
Figure 17). Reading from the IVRi will not change the WRi, if
its contents are different.
