REF Tied to VDD. Reference - Reference input to
input voltage set absolute
maximum current
level for both
phases. Defaults to
internal reference
when tied to VDD.
SDI To Uc Serial data Output Serial
input communication Tx
SDO To Uc Serial data Input Serial
output communication Rx
SCK To Uc Serial data Output Serial
clock communication Ck
STRn To Uc Serial data Output When STRn
strobe and is high any activity
serial access on SCK or SDI is
enable ignored, and SDO is
high impedance
allowing multiple
SDI slaves to have
common SDI, SCK,
and SDO
connections.
