Abstract: SPI Round Robin Mode for Single-Cycle MUX Channel Sequencing. SPI round robin mode is an SPI mode applicable for MUX devices control. It allows the MUX output to connect to the next input channel sequentially in just one clock cycle. Configurations can be made such as: clock edge to use (rising/falling), ascending/descending channel sequence, and enabling/disabling the channels to go through. The device supersedes an ADC with built in sequencing and is applicable to multiplexing, switching, instrumentation, process control and isolation application—while retaining SPI device control and operation.
