Description
Device iC-MR is a universal sine-to-digital converter with signal conditioning and various interfaces for configuration and data communication. Microcontrollers can be connected up through a parallel I/O interface with an 8-bit bus width (12.5 MHz) or using a serial I/O interface (4-pin SPI, 20 MHz). The serial I/O interface can function as a sensor interface either in BiSS C protocol (up to 10 MHz, bidirectional) or in SSI protocol (up to 4 MHz).
Sine-to-digital conversion is performed by a fast interpolator with a sample-&-hold circuit which resolves a sine period with 13 bits either continuously or on request. In parallel and independent of the interpolator a configurable 37-bit period counter logs the sine and cosine zero crossings. This period counter is programmable and can take its start value from the serial absolute data interface (ADI); the corresponding interface master operates either in BiSS C or SSI protocol.
