8 Application Information

8.1 Sleep Mode

The target is to provide the possibility to reduce the total current consumption. No output signal will be provided when the IC is in sleep mode.

Enabling or disabling sleep mode is done by sending the SLEEP or WAKEUP commands via. the SSI interface. Analog blocks are powered

down with respect to fast wake up time.

8.2 SSI Interface

The setup for the device is handled by the digital interface. Each communication starts with the rising edge of the chip select signal. The

synchronization between the internal free running analog clock oscillator and the external used digital clock source for the digital interface is

done in a way that the digital clock frequency can vary in a wide range.

Interface Modes

Normal read operation mode

cmd<4:0> = <00xxx>

→ 1 DCLK per data bit

Extended read operation mode

cmd<4:0> = <01xxx>

→ 4 DCLK per data bit

Normal write operation mode

cmd<4:0> = <10xxx>

→ 1 DCLK per data bit

Extended write operation mode

cmd<4:0> = <11xxx>

→ 4 DCLK per data bit
