HTE029A1 Note 6-1: This pin (CS#) is the chip select input connecting to the MCU. The chip is enabled for MCU communication:only when CS# is pulled LOW. Note 6-2: This pin (D/C#) is Data/Command control pin connecting to the MCU. When the pin is pulled HIGH,the data will be interpreted as data.
HTE029A1 MCU Interface 6.2.1 MCU Serial Peripheral Interface (4-wire SPI) The 4-wire SPI consists of SCLK (serial clock), SDIN (serial data), D/C# and CS#. D0 acts as SCLK and D1 acts as SDIN. Table -1 : Control pins of 4-wire Serial Peripheral interface...
HTE029A1 6.2.2 MCU Serial Peripheral Interface (3-wire SPI) The 3-wire serial interface consists of SCLK (serial clock), SDIN (serial data) and CS#. In SPI mode, D0 acts as SCLK and D1 acts as SDIN. The operation is similar to 4-wire serial interface while D/C# pin is not used. There are altogether 9-bits will be shifted into the shift register in sequence: D/C# bit, D7 to D0 bit.
HTE029A1 6.3 External Temperature Sensor operation There are two ways to let the module get the ambient temperature, use the external temperature sensor interface, The module provides two I/O lines [TSDA and TSCL] for connecting digital temperature sensor for temperature reading sensing. TSDA will be treated as SDA line and TSCL will be treated as SCL line.
