7.5.1 SDO Pin Tristate Discrete Workaround (Only for
parallel SPI configuration not for daisy chain)
Figure 7-22 shows
discrete NPN-PNP based circuit needed on SDO pin of each slave device when mutiple
TPS481HS04-Q1 devices are used in parallel SPI configuration.
CS goes low, Q1 turns on to
connect master MCU with respective slave device SDO pin
CS goes high, Q1 turns off
disconnecting SDO pin of slave device from master MCU and SDO pins of other
slave devices
