Field 5 Bits 26 to 37 12-Bit End of Packet 0111 1111 1110
A 38-bit serial word is used, divided into 6 fields. Assuming
each bit can be loaded in 60 μs, the 38-bit serial word transfers
in 2.3 ms. Table 11 summarizes the word format.
Fields 0 and 5 are the start of packet and end of packet field,
respectively. Matching the start of packet field with 1000 0000
0001 and the end of packet field with 0111 1111 1110 ensures
that the serial word is valid and enables decoding of the other
fields. Field 3 breaks up the data and ensures that no data com-
bination can inadvertently trigger the start of packet and end of
packet fields. Field 0 should be written first and Field 5 written
last. Within each field, the MSB must be written first and the
LSB written last. The shift register features power-on reset to
minimize the risk of inadvertent programming; power-on reset
occurs when VDD is between 0.7 V and 2.2 V.
