To write to the Data Register, follow these steps:
1. Initial conditions:
SS* asserted low.
SERDATIN = don't care.
DAQD*/A = 0 (indicates data will be written to a Register).
SLOT0SEL* = 1.
SERCLK = 1 (and has not transitioned since DAQD*/A went low).
2. For each bit to be written:
Establish the desired SERDATIN level corresponding to this bit.
SERCLK = 0.
SERCLK = 1. This rising edge clocks the data.
3. Pull DAQD*/A high. This disables further writes to the module Data Register and latches
the information to the outputs. If you want, you can write address FFFF (hexadecimal) to the
Address Handler. This selects the Parking Register and makes the module registers more
immune to noise.
4. Pull low to deassert the SS* line and establish conditions for writing a new slot-select
number to the Slot 0 Slot-Select Register.
5. If you are not selecting another slot, write zero to the Slot 0 Slot-Select Register.
