Controlling the MAX6957 requires sending a 16-bit
word. The first byte, D15 through D8, is the command
address
D0, is the data byte (Table 4).
Multiple MAX6957s may be daisy-chained by connect-
ing the DOUT of one device to the DIN of the next, and
driving SCLK and CS lines in parallel (Figure 4). Data at
DIN propagates through the internal shift registers and
appears at DOUT 15.5 clock cycles later, clocked out
on the falling edge of SCLK. When sending commands
to multiple MAX6957s, all devices are accessed at the
same time. An access requires (16
where n is the number of MAX6957s connected togeth-
er. To update just one device in a daisy-chain, the user
can send the No-Op command (0x00) to the others.

The MAX6957 contains a 16-bit shift register into which
DIN data are clocked on the rising edge of SCLK, when
CS is low. When CS is high, transitions on SCLK have
no effect. When CS goes high, the 16 bits in the Shift
register are parallel loaded into a 16-bit latch. The 16
bits in the latch are then decoded and executed.
The MAX6957 is written to using the following
sequence:
1) Take SCLK low.
2) Take CS low. This enables the internal 16-bit shift
3) Clock 16 bits of data into DIN—D15 first, D0 last—
4) Take CS high (either while SCLK is still high after
5) Take SCLK low (if not already low).
