AMM80 • SSI, BiSS, & RS-485 5 - SSI interface Order code: AMM80xx/xxxBG1-... 5.1 SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface) (the acronym Synchronous Serial 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.
AMM80 • SSI, BiSS, & RS-485 At each change of the clock signal and at each subsequent rising edge (2) one bit is clocked out at a time, up to LSB, so completing the data word transmission. The cycle ends at the last rising edge of the clock signal (3). This 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);...
