PRODUCTION DATA.
Refer to the PDF data sheet for device specific package drawings
The device that initiates the transfer is called a master, and the devices controlled by the master are slaves. The bus must be controlled by a master device that generates the serial clock (SCL), controls the bus access, and generates the START and STOP conditions.
To address a specific device, a START condition is initiated, indicated by pulling the data line (SDA) from a high to low logic level while SCL is high. All slaves on the bus shift in the slave address byte on the rising edge of the clock, with the last bit indicating whether a read or write operation is intended. During the ninth clock pulse, the slave being addressed responds to the master by generating an Acknowledge and pulling SDA low.
Data transfer is then initiated and sent over eight clock pulses followed by an Acknowledge Bit. During data transfer, SDA must remain stable while SCL is high, because any change in SDA while SCL is high is interpreted as a START or STOP signal.
Once all data have been transferred, the master generates a STOP condition indicated by pulling SDA from low to high, while SCL is high.
