ESSI Data and Control Signals
Three to six signals are required for ESSI operation, depending on the operating mode
selected. The serial transmit data (
fully synchronized to the clock if they are programmed as transmit-data signals.
7.2.1
Serial Transmit Data Signal (STD)
The
signal transmits data from the serial transmit shift register.
STD
data is transmitted from the TX0 shift register. With an internally-generated bit clock, the
signal becomes a high impedance output signal for a full clock period after the last data bit is
transmitted if another data word does not follow immediately. If sequential data words are
transmitted, the

Serial Receive Data Signal (SRD)

Serial Clock (SCK)

Synchronous modes or by all the enabled transmitters in Asynchronous modes. See Table 7-1
