MCT8316A write operation over I2C involves the following sequence.
I2C start
condition.
The sequence starts with
I2C target start byte, made up of 7-bit target ID (0x00) to identify the MCT8316A along with the R/W bit set
to 0.
The start byte is followed by
24-bit control word. Bit 23 in the control word has to be 0 as it is a write
operation.
The 24-bit control word is
then followed by the data bytes. The length of the data byte depends on the
DLEN field.
While sending data
bytes, the LSB byte is sent first. Refer below examples for more
details.
16-bit/32-bit write –
The data sent is written to the address mentioned in Control
Word.
64-bit Write – 64-bit
is treated as two 32-bit writes. The address mentioned in Control
word is taken as Addr 0. Addr 1 is calculating internally by MCT8316A by incrementing Addr 0 by 2. A total of 8 data bytes are sent.
The first 4 bytes (sent in LSB first way) are written to Addr 0 and
the next 4 bytes are written to Addr 1.
If CRC is enabled, the packet
ends with a CRC byte. CRC is calculated for the entire packet (Target ID + W
bit, Control Word, Data Bytes).
