environment. Use of the setting CFGDR = ’11’ is advis-
able at medium transmission rates with a limited driver

Serial Interface
The serial interface is used to read out the absolute tailed description of the protocol, see separate inter-
position and to parameterize the module. For a de- face specification.

Mode C
The sensor sends a fixed cycle-start sequence con-
taining the Acknowledge-, Start and Control-Bit fol-
lowed by the binary 12 bit sensor data. At lower resolu-
tion settings the data word contains leading zeros. The
low-active error bit nE a ’0’ indicates an error which
can be further identified by reading the status register
0x77. The following bit nW is always at ’1’ state. Fol-
lowing the 6 CRC bits the data of the next sensors, if
available, are presented. Otherwise, the master stops
generating clock pulse on the MA line an the sensor
runs into a timeout, indicating the end of communica-
tion.
