Serial Interfaces
SPI frame format
Communication between the SCA3000 sensor and master controller is based on serial data
transfer and a dedicated interrupt line (INT-pin). Two different serial interfaces are available for the
SCA3000 sensor: SPI and I
enabled by pre-programming in the factory. The SCA3000 acts as a slave on both the SPI and I
bus.
SPI bus is a full duplex synchronous 4-wire serial interface. It consists of one master device and
one or more slave devices. The master is defined as a micro controller providing the SPI clock, and
the slave as any integrated circuit receiving the SPI clock from the master. The SCA3000 sensor
always operates as a slave device in master-slave operation mode. A typical SPI connection is
presented in Figure 5.
Figure 5. Typical SPI connection.
The data transfer uses the following 4-wire interface:
SCA3000 SPI frame format and transfer protocol is presented in Figure 6.

Each communication frame contains 16 bits. The first 8 bits in MOSI line contains info about the
operation (read/write) and the register address being accessed. The first 6 bits define the 6 bit
