Daisy-Chain Mode

The connection of several ADGM1004 devices in a daisy-chain

configuration is possible. All devices share the same CS and

SCLK lines while the SDO pin of one device forms a connection

to the SDI pin of the next device, creating a shift register. In

daisy-chain mode, the SDO signal is an 8-cycle delayed version

of the SDI signal (see Figure 47).

The ADGM1004 can only enter daisy-chain mode from

addressable mode by sending the 16-bit SPI command, 0x2500.

See Figure 47 for an example of this command. When the

ADGM1004 receives this command, the SDO pin of the devices

sends out the same command because the alignment bits at the

SDO pin are 0x25. This command allows multiple daisy-

chained devices to enter daisy-chain mode in a single SPI frame.

A hardware reset is required to exit daisy-chain mode.

For the timing diagram of a typical daisy-chain SPI frame,

see Figure 48. When the CS pin goes high, Device 1 writes

Command 0, Bits[7:0], to the SWITCH_DATA register, Device 2

writes Command 1, Bits[7:0], to the switches, and so on. The

SPI block uses the last eight bits received through the SDI pin to

update the switches. After entering daisy-chain mode, the first

eight bits sent out by the SDO pin are 0x00. When CS goes

high, the internal shift register value does not reset back to 0.

An SCLK rising edge reads in data on the SDI pin while data is

propagated out of the SDO pin on an SCLK falling edge. The

expected number of SCLK cycles are a multiple of eight before

the CS pin goes high. When this is not the case, the SPI

interface sends the last eight bits received to the

SWITCH_DATA register.
