  • Page 16: Ssi Interface

    SMA1 5 - SSI interface Order code: SMA1-GA2-5-… 5.1 SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface) Synchronous Serial SSI (the acronym Interface) is a synchronous point-to-point serial interface engineered unidirectional data transmission between one Master and one Slave. Developed in the first eighties, it is based on the RS- 422 serial standard.
  • Page 17: Lsb Right Aligned Protocol

    SMA1 means that up to n + 1 rising edges of the clock signals are required for each data word transmission (where n is the bit resolution); for instance, a 13-bit encoder needs 14 clock edges. If the number of clocks is greater than the number of bits of the data word, then the system will send a zero (low logic level signal) at each additional clock, zeros will either lead (LSB ALIGNED protocol) or follow (MSB ALIGNED protocol) or lead and/or follow (TREE FORMAT...
