Datasheet - Detailed Description
7.2.5 SPI Interface Commands
READ Command. For a single READ command two transmission sequences are necessary. The first package written to the AS5050 contains
the READ command (MSB high) and the address the chip has to access, the second package transmitted to the AS5050 device can be any
command the chip has to process next. The content of the desired register is available in the MISO register of the master device at the end of the
second transmission cycle.

WRITE Command. A single WRITE command takes two transmission cycles. The WRITE command can be verified by sending a NOP
command after the WRITE command. The data will be sent back during NOP command.
