7.5.1.1 SPI Frame

SPI communication to the INA239 device is performed through register address access. Communication to every register starts with a 6-bit register address followed by a "0" and a R/W bit. Setting the R/W bit to "1" indicates that the current SPI frame will read from a device register while setting the R/W bit to "0" indicates the current SPI frame will write data to a device register.

GUID-20201103-CA0I-D8DF-BW6S-XTSRRVMWSQDN-low.gifFigure 7-8 SPI Write Frame

Note that while the read frame can be variable in length due to the different length registers in the INA239 device, the write frame is fixed in length as all writable registers are 16 bits wide. During an SPI write frame, while new data is shifted into the INA239 register, the old data from the same register is shifted out on the MISO line.

The first 8-bits of each SPI frame are presented in Table 7-2, which shows access to a certain register address on the MOSI line as well as read/write functionality. On an SPI read operation, the INA239 returns the data read in the same SPI frame.
