Daisy-chaining MAX22200, looking for more information on implementation

Category: Datasheet/Specs
Product Number: MAX22200

Hi!

I am working on a project where we want to use the MAX22200 for controlling valves. The MAX22200 is being controlled over SPI from a stm32 board which works very well so far. Now I would like to add the possibility of controlling two MAX22200 chips with one microcontroller to have more valves. The datasheet of the MAX22200 says it is possible to daisy-chain but I am not quite sure how this is actually done since before every read or write operation needs a write to the command register prior to it and how chip 1 knows it is in a daisy-chain configuration and therefore puts the data for chip 2 on its DO line. 

I'm looking for any kind of advice on this topic since I can't find enough info in the datasheet or elsewhere.

Regards,

Lars
