This MPU transfers data MSB (MPU) synchronous serial formats (see Table 1). If an first and in 8-bit increments. A dummy DIN word sent to the MPU without a dedicated serial port is used, then three of data register starts the SPI process. With two 8-bit transfers, the MPU’s parallel port lines can be programmed to form the A/D result is read into the MPU (Figure 1). For the the serial link to the LTC1292/LTC1297. Included here are LTC1292 the first 8-bit transfer clocks B11 through B8 of one serial interface example and one example showing a the A/D conversion result into the processor.
