7.3.7 Register Map - SPI Variant Only

This section describes the user configurable registers in the device.

Note: While the device allows register writes at any time SPI communication is available, TI recommends to exercise caution while updating registers in the ACTIVE state while the load is being driven. This is especially important for settings such as S_DIAG which control the critical device configuration. To prevent accidental register writes, the device offers a locking mechanism through the REG_LOCK bits in the COMMAND register to lock the contents of all configurable registers. Best practice is to write all the configurable registers during initialization and then lock these settings. Run-time register writes for output control are handled by the SPI_IN register, which offers a separate locking mechanism through the SPI_IN_LOCK bits.
