SPI INTERFACE
LP3954 is compatible with SPI serial bus specification and it operates as a slave. The transmission consists of
16-bit Write and Read Cycles. One cycle consists of 7 Address bits, 1 Read/Write (RW) bit and 8 Data bits. RW
bit high state defines a Write Cycle and low defines a Read Cycle. SO output is normally in high-impedance state
and it is active only when Data is sent out during a Read Cycle. A pull-up resistor may be needed in SO line if a
floating logic signal can cause unintended current consumption in the input circuits where SO is connected.The
Address and Data are transmitted MSB first. The Slave Select signal SS must be low during the Cycle
transmission. SS resets the interface when high and it has to be taken high between successive Cycles. Data is
clocked in on the rising edge of the SCK clock signal, while data is clocked out on the falling edge of SCK.
