7.5 Parallel Operation of Multiple Devices
For several applications it might be necessary to use several devices with only one master controller.
The simplest way to communicate with several ICs for combined operation is to use separate CS_N wires
for every device. Communication with a device is only possible while CS_N is low. Then the output MISO
is active, otherwise it is high impedance (see also 4.1).
Please note:
If READY is wired in parallel it must be set to high-Z mode (Rdy2hZ = 1). Then the READY signal
is active only if the chip is selected.

7.6 CLK Input/Output
The system clock of the FH3D02 is generated by an internal RC oscillator if it is used in standard
configuration. Due to process variations the clock frequency exhibits certain spread. The characteristics
are noted in the following table.

Several devices in a combined setup can be started synchronously by group addressing (see 7.5) but will
complete their measurement cycles at different points in time. For absolutely synchronous measurements
a common clock can be used. By disabling the internal oscillator the signal edges at pin CLK will be used
as system clock. See the following table for the necessary characteristics of this clock signal.
