16.1. Introduction
The MLX90333 features a digital Serial Protocol mode. The MLX90333 is considered as a Slave node.
The serial protocol of the MLX90333 is a three wires protocol (/SS, SCLK, MOSI-MISO):
The basic knowledge of the standard SPI specification is required for the good understanding of the
present section.
16.2. SERIAL PROTOCOL Mode
The positive going edge shifts a bit to the Slave’s output stage and the negative going edge samples the
bit at the Master’s input stage.
16.3. MOSI (Master Out Slave In)
The Master sends a command to the Slave to get the angle information.
16.4. MISO (Master In Slave Out)
The MISO of the slave is an open-collector stage. Due to the capacitive load (TBD) a >1 kΩ pull-up is
used for the recessive high level (in fast mode). Note that MOSI and MISO use the same physical pin of
the MLX90333.
16.5. /SS (Slave Select)
The /SS pin enables a frame transfer (if CPHA = 1). It allows a re-synchronization between Slave and
Master in case of communication error.
16.6. Master Start-Up
/SS, SCLK, MISO can be undefined during the Master start-up as long as the Slave is re-synchronized
before the first frame transfer.
16.7. Slave Start-Up
The slave start-up (after power-up or an internal failure) takes 16 ms. Within this time /SS and SCLK is
ignored by the Slave. The first frame can therefore be sent after 16 ms. MISO is Hi-Z (i.e. Hi-Impedance)
until the Slave is selected by its /SS input. MLX90333 will cope with any signal from the Master while
starting up.
