Figure 5.2 Addressing multiple TMC5160 via the differential interface, additional filtering for NAI
A different scheme (not shown) uses bus switches (like 74HC4066) to connect the bus to the next unit
in the chain without using the NAI input. The bus switch can be controlled in the same fashion, using
the NAO output to enable it (low level shall enable the bus switch). Once the bus switch is enabled it
allows addressing the next bus segment. As bus switches add a certain resistance, the maximum
number of nodes will be reduced.
It is possible to mix different styles of addressing in a system. For example, a system using two
boards with each two TMC5160 can have both devices on a board with a different level on NEXTADDR,
while the next board is chained using analog switches separating the bus until the drivers on the first
board have been programmed.
