There are also two user controlled registers that tune the sensor to the specific user requirements. The first register is the Mode
Control register that determines the output pressure range, the corner frequency of the bandwidth limiting filter, enables or disables
the noise suppression filter and controls the Auto‐Zero block with Z‐Track™.
The second register is the Rate Control register which
controls the rate at which the Data Available (DAV) pin is

10.1 Reset
Reset timing is shown in the diagram below.
The communications method (SPI or I2C) is established during the time just after rest. During this time (tIOD), no communications
should take place.
Also, the internal filters are settling during the time tFRD and data acquired during this time may not be fully settled.

10.2 Communication Interface Selection
The communications interface is selected by interrogating the nSS pin after the internal power on reset delay. If nSS is high, the SPI
interface will be selected otherwise (if low) the I2C interface will be selected. Grounding the nSS pin is an acceptable method for
selecting the I2C interface.
10.3 SPI Interface

The SPI interface uses a 16 bit transfer for all communications. Data is MSB first for both MOSI and MISO data transfers. Refer to the
figure below for specific timing requirements.

The data communications has been reduced to a simple 16 bit transfer model for reading the pressure output. Each communication
cycle consists of master sending the Mode and Rate data to be placed into the sensor Mode Register and Rate Registers respectively.
Simultaneously, the sensor sends the pressure data for the master to receive. Refer to the figure below for the data communication
model of the SP Series sensor.
SP Series
The requirement to send the Mode and Rate bytes on each data read cycle is intentional. The purpose is to force the master to send
specific data for each communication and prevent inadvertent data from being sent to the sensor. Since a SPI interface will generally
re‐circulate data through its shift register, the intention is to prevent the pressure output from the sensor from being re‐circulated
back to the sensor and potentially causing unintended corruption of manufacturing data.

Bus Specification, Version 2.
10.4.1 I2C Address

10.4.2 I2C Communications Model
The sensor is configured as a slave device
and as such, the communicating host
must be configured as a master. There are
two types of possible data transfers, data
transfers from the master transmitter to
an addressed sensor (WRITE), and data
transfers from an addressed sensor to a
master receiver (READ). The master
device initiates both types of data
transfers and provides the serial clock
pulses on SCL.
The communications model for I2C is
similar to that of SPI however, since I2C is
a half‐duplex protocol, the transfer of
information to and from the sensor is
separated into two separate communications. This is in contrast to the SPI interface where the transmitted and received data occurs
simultaneously to and from the host. Refer to the figure to the right for the data communication model for the SP Series sensors.
SP Series
10.4.3 I2C Clock Stretching
The figure to the right illustrates the I2C
clock stretching by the sensor. At times, the
sensor requires additional time to respond
to the host and utilizes the clock stretching
feature of the I2C protocol. This is
accomplished by holding the SCL low after
the ACK cycle of a data transfer. Refer to
Section 7.5 for the clock stretching timing.
Note, the maximum clock stretch time will
generally only occur once during the three
ACK cycles of a two byte transfer. That is,
the balance of ACK's during a multi‐byte
transfer will generally include the typical clock stretching time.
10.4.4 I2C Bus Compatibility

The I2C specification allows any recessive voltage between 3.0 and 5.0 V. Different devices on the bus may operate at different
voltage levels. However, the maximum voltage on any port pin must conform to the electrical characteristics specifications (See
section 1). The bi‐directional SCL (serial clock) and SDA (serial data) lines must be connected to a positive power supply voltage
through a pull‐up resistor or similar circuit. Every device connected to the bus must have an open‐drain or open‐collector output for
both the SCL and SDA lines, so that both are pulled high (recessive state) when the bus is free.
10.5 Extended Data Acquisition

10.5.1 Available Extended Data
For either the SPI or I2C interface, additional data is available beyond the pressure. The means to access this extended data is to
continue reading data (either SPI or I2C) beyond the first 16 bits of pressure information. The following table defines the order of the
available data and respective format.
Data Bytes Format Interpretation Example

Pressure 1‐2 2 byte, Signed Int See Section 10.7 See Section 10.7
Temperature 3‐4 2 byte, Signed Int Fixed Decimal [8.8 bits], Upper 8 bits 1880H (18.80H) = 24.5°C
integer, lower 8 bits fractional.
Temperature in °C
Model 5‐10 6 byte, ASCII, null Right reading ASCII with null 48H,56H,32H,31H,30H,00H = HV210

Serial Number 11‐14 4 byte, Hex Unique 4 byte serial for each part 2FD627A4H
Build Number 15‐20 6 byte, ASCII, null Right reading ASCII with null 30H,30H,30H,33H,43H,00H = 0003C
terminated termination
10.5.2 SPI Extended Data Read

Reading the extended data while using the SPI interface is the same as shown in Section 10.3 with exception that the master
continues to read during the same nSS sequence to read all 20 bytes of the extended data. Any portion of the 20 bytes can be read
during the transfer. That is, for example, 4 bytes could be read to acquire only the pressure and temperature information. When
reading the extended data, only the first two bytes sent to the sensor (User Mode and User Rate) are used to set the internal
registers. The subsequent bytes (bytes 5 through 20) are ignored. Data read following the first 20 bytes is undefined.
10.5.3 I2C Extended Data Read

Reading the extended data via the I2C interface is similar to using the SPI interface where the master can simply continue to reading
the sensor during the pressure reading transfer. The master continues Ack'ing until the number of desired bytes are read.

It should also be noted that upon changing the Mode Control
value, there is a one cycle latency before the new Mode Control
value becomes valid. That is, the data of the communication cycle following a change to the Mode Control register will not reflect
the change. It is not until the second communication cycle that the change in the Mode Control register will be reflected in the
output data.

The function of this register is that it is the reload value of a 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 166.2 Hz

10.7 Computing Pressure

The pressure data is in the form of 16 bit signed integer sent in high byte then low byte order. This is a differential output by
definition and the data range is ±215. There is a 10% margin in the output scaling and the selected full scale will reside in the 90%
band of the total available output data range. Refer to Equation 1 (below) for the general model for computing the output pressure.
As an example, if the sensor output is 3,647 counts and the selected pressure range is 1.0 inH2O, then the output pressure is 0.124
inH2O. Conversely, for a ‐3,647 count with the selected pressure range of 1.0 inH2O, the computed output pressure is ‐0.124 inH2O.
Refer to Example 1 (below) for the specific example computation.
