SSI interface
6.1
Principle
SSI stands for Synchronous Serial Interface and describes
a digital synchronous interface with a differential clock line
and a differential data line.
With the first falling cycle edge, the data word to be output
is buffered in the BTL to ensure data consistency. Data
output takes place with the first rising clock edge, i.e. the
BTL supplies one bit to the data line for each rising clock
edge. In doing so, the line capacities and delays of drivers

when querying the data bits must be taken into account

length (see Technical data on page 23, Fig. 8-2). The t
time, also called monoflop time, is started with the last
falling edge and is output as the low level with the last
rising edge. The data line remains at low until the t
has elapsed. Afterwards, the BTL is ready again to receive
the next clock package.

With the BTL7-S5_ _B/F-M..., position data is determined
and output in a timely manner and synchronous to the
external sampling period. For synchronous operation, the
sampling period T
must be in the range

operation outside of this range. If the minimum sampling
time is undercut, the BTL outputs the same position value
several times. The external sampling rate is then greater
than the internal rate. In addition, T
