Operational Modes

Figure 3.1 illustrates the ZSSC3036 power-up sequence and subsequent operation depending on the selected

interface communication mode (I

either interface, after the voltage regulators are switched on, the ZSSC3036

’s low voltage section (LV) is active

while the related interface configuration information is read from memory. Then the LV section is switched off, the

ZSSC3036 goes into Sleep State, and the interface is ready to receive commands. Since the interface is always

See Table 3.1 for definitions of the commands.

Figure 3.2 shows the ZSSC3036 operation in Normal Mode and Command Mode including when the LV and HV

sections are active as indicated by the color legend. The Normal Mode automatically returns to Sleep State after

executing the requested measurements. In Command Mode, the ZSSC3036 remains active if a dedicated

command (Start_NOM) was sent, which is helpful during calibration. Command Mode can only be entered if

Start_CM is the first command received after POR.
