ADIS16203
BASIC OPERATION
The ADIS16203 is designed for simple integration into industrial
system designs, requiring only a 3.3 V power supply and a 4-wire,
industry standard SPI. The SPI port facilitates all data transfers
with the ADIS16203’s registers. Each ADIS16203 function (output
data and programming control) has its own register that contains
two bytes of data, and each byte of data has its own unique bit
map. These two bytes are referred to as upper and lower bytes,
and each has its own 6-bit address.
SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE (SPI)
The ADIS16203’s SPI port provides a common interface that is
supported by a wide variety of digital platforms, including MCUs,
DSPs, and FPGAs. Even when a dedicated port is not available, the
SPI can be implemented using manual bit manipulation, which is
more commonly known as bit banging. The purpose of this section is
to provide a basic description of SPI operation in the ADIS16203.
Please refer to Table 2, Figure 2, and Figure 3 for detailed timing
and operation of this port.
The ADIS16203’s SPI port includes four signals: chip select
( CS ), serial clock (SCLK), data input (DIN), and data output
(DOUT). The CS line enables the ADIS16203’s SPI port and, in
effect, frames each SPI event. When this signal is high, the DOUT
lines are in a high impedance state and the signals on DIN and

SCLK have no impact on operation. A complete data frame contains
16 clock cycles. Because the SPI port operates in full duplex mode,
it supports simultaneous, 16-bit receive (DIN) and transmit (DOUT)
functions during the same data frame.
Figure 26 displays a typical data frame for writing a command to a
control register. In this case, the first bit of the DIN sequence is a
1, followed by a 0, then the 6-bit address and 8-bit data command.
Because each write command covers a single byte of data, two data
frames are required when writing the entire 16-bit space of a register.
Reading the contents of a register requires a modification to the
sequence in Figure 26. In this case, the first two bits in the DIN
sequence are 0, followed by the address of the register. Each register
has two addresses, but either one can be used to access its entire
16 bits of data. The final eight bits of the DIN sequence are irrelevant
and can be counted as don’t cares during a read command. Then,
during the next data frame, the DOUT sequence will contain the
register’s 16-bit data, as shown in Figure 27. Even though a single
read command requires two separate data frames, the full duplex
mode minimizes this overhead, requiring only one extra data frame
when continuously sampling.
