8.5.3 Bus Transactions

Data must be sent to and received from the target devices, and this is accomplished by reading from or writing to registers in the target device.

Registers are locations in the memory of the target which contain information, whether it be the configuration information or some sampled data to send back to the controller. The controller must write information to these registers in order to instruct the target device to perform a task.

While it is common to have registers in I2C targets, note that not all target devices have registers. Some devices are simple and contain only 1 register, which may be written to directly by sending the register data immediately after the target address, instead of addressing a register. The TCA9548A-Q1 is example of a single-register device, which is controlled via I2C commands. Since it has 1 bit to enable or disable a channel, there is only 1 register needed, and the controller merely writes the register data after the target address, skipping the register number.
