Digital Inputs
The digital inputs are compatible with CMOS logic.
Supply current increases slightly when toggling the
logic inputs through the transition zone between
(0.3)(V
DD
) and (0.7)(V
DD
).
Microprocessor Interfacing
The MAX522 serial interface is compatible with
Microwire, SPI, and QSPI. For SPI, clear the CPOL and
CPHA bits (CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0). CPOL = 0 sets
the inactive clock state to zero and CPHA = 0 changes
data at the falling edge of SCLK. This setting allows SPI
to run at full clock speeds (0.5MHz). If a serial port is
not available on your µP, three bits of a parallel port can
be used to emulate a serial port by bit manipulation.
Minimize digital feedthrough at the voltage outputs by
operating the serial clock only when necessary.
