Internal clock counts
iC-MN can transmit position data according to the SSI
protocol where both data length and error messag-
ing are configurable. The selected mode of opera-
tion for sine-to-digital conversion can limit the permissi-
ble SSI clock frequency (see Operating Conditions on
page 15). The highest possible SSI clock frequency
of 4 MHz is permissible for converter modes with an
immediate data output.

Bit count
For singleturn data lengths (DL_ST) which are less
than 13 bits the SSI data word is zero filled. The op-
tional error bit is always the final bit of the data word.
8 bit plus zeroes (+1 error bit)*

0x05
...
13 bit (+1 error bit)*
...
If enabled by M2S, multiturn data is always transmitted
upfront the singleturn data. The format option Gray or
binary code covers the MT and ST data word in its en-
tirety; filled in zeros and the error bit remain untouched.
0x11
25 bit (+1 error bit)*
Bit counts listed below are valid only for multiturn
synchronization mode (s.P. 30 ff.)

The output bit count is determined by parameters

Example: DL_ST = 0 (≡8 Bit); ESSI = 1.
Result: 8 bits of data + 4 zeros + 1 error bit are trans-
mitted = 13 bits of data.
