from the host. The idle state is determined in Setups by
the serial mode (SM) parameter.
If SM is set for idle-low SCK: Data is shifted out of the
QT300 on the rising edge of SCK and should be shifted
into the host on the falling edge of SCK.
If SM is set for idle-high SCK: Data is shifted out of the
QT300 on the falling edge of SCK and should be shifted
into the host on the rising edge of SCK.
The maximum clock speed is 40kHz, and the timings

the host that the device is ready to send data back to the
host. During idle times this pin floats and therefore must
be connected to a pullup resistor. The host must wait until
/DRDY goes low before starting an SPI transfer.
Between the high and low byte clockings, the host should
observe a delay of ≥12µs.

A typical SPI slave mode communication sequence is:
3.5 SPI Master Mode
Refer to Figure 7-2 and Table 7-2, page 8.
In master SPI mode the QT300 generates the clock signal
after an acquire initiated from the host via the /REQ line. The
clock speed and the spacing between the two bytes is set via
the Setup process (Section 6).
SCD setup parameter determines the master-mode clock
rate. The default value is 55 (resulting in a 2.55KHz rate).
The relationship is:
MLS setup parameter determines the spacing between the
two return bytes; this can be important to allow a slow host
device to recover from receiving the first byte to prevent an
overrun. The default value is 148 (resulting in a 500µs gap).
The relationship is:
Master SPI mode requires at least 3 signals to operate:
/REQ - Request Acquisition Input; Active low input-only.
SCK - SPI clock; Idle high or idle low, output-only. The idle
/DRDY - Data Ready (Optional); active low output only. This
SDO - Serial Data Output; Idle low output-only. This is the
1) Host pulses /REQ low for ≥30µs to initiate an acquire.
2) QT300 acquires a signal in response to /REQ.
3) QT300 pulls /DRDY low when ready to send data back.
4) Host detects /DRDY is low.
5) Host clocks out the high byte of data from the QT300.
6) Host waits for ≥12µs.
7) Host clocks out the low byte of data from the QT300.
8) QT300 releases /DRDY to float high.
When /REQ is pulled low, the QT300 wakes and starts an
acquire. The IC will transmit the resulting data only when
the acquire has finished.
/REQ must return high before the end of the burst. If
/REQ is still low at the end of the burst the part goes into
Setup mode. The minimum duration of /REQ is 30µs.

state is determined in Setups by the serial mode (SM)
parameter.
If SM is set for idle-low SCK: Data is shifted out of the
QT300 on the rising edge of SCK and should be shifted
into the host on the falling edge of SCK.
If SM is set for idle-high SCK: Data is shifted out of the
QT300 on the falling edge of SCK and should be shifted
into the host on the rising edge of SCK.
