WRITE/READ TIMING
• All writes and reads are five bytes at a time. Each byte consists of 8 bits, for a total instruction set of 40 bits.
• Data are latched on the falling edge of CLK.
• Separate write (DIN) and read data (DOUT) lines.
• Reads follow the same bitstream pattern seen in the write cycle.
• Reads extract data from the FIFO buffer, not the latched register.
• DOUT data are continuously available and do not need to be enabled with a read cycle. Selecting a read
cycle in the control register only prevents latching of data. The control register remains latched.
• The Reset pin (RS) must be low in order to allow the register to update with new data. RST can be held low
permanently. To initiate a reset cycle, pull the RST pin high for at least 100ns.
