Angular Sensor for Position Control with
Side-Shaft Positioning Capability
2. Timing of the Serial Interface
The data link is a 4-wire serial bus, conmplying to the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) usual convention shown in Table
3 and Table 4.The MagAlpha sensor operates as slave. During one transmission a 16 bit word can be simultaneously
sent to the sensor (MOSI pin) and received from the sensor (MISO pin). Note that it is possible to receive 24 bits of data
(16 bits for the angle and 8 bits for a time index). See section 10 “Output Signals” for details.
