PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS65982BB device supports standard and fast mode I2C interface. The bidirectional I2C bus consists of the serial clock (SCL) and serial data (SDA) lines. Both lines must be connected to a supply through a pullup resistor. The data transfer can only be initiated when the bus is not busy.
A master sending a start condition (a high-to-low transition on the SDA I/O) while the SCL input is high initiates I2C communication. After the Start Condition, the device address byte is sent, most significant bit (MSB) first, including the data direction bit (R/W).
After receiving the valid address byte, this device responds with an acknowledge (ACK), a low on the SDA I/O during the high of the ACK-related clock pulse. On the I2C bus, only one data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain stable during the high pulse of the clock period as changes in the data line at this time are interpreted as control conditions (START or STOP). The master sends a Stop Condition, a low-to-high transition on the SDA I/O while the SCL input is high.
Any number of data bytes can be transferred from the transmitter to receiver between the start and the stop conditions. Each byte of eight bits is followed by one ACK bit. The transmitter must release the SDA line before the receiver can send an ACK bit. The device that acknowledges, must pull down the SDA line during the ACK clock pulse, so that the SDA line remains low during the high pulse of the ACK-related clock period. When a slave receiver is addressed, it must generate an ACK after each byte is received. Similarly, the master must generate an ACK after each byte that it receives from the slave transmitter. Setup and hold times must be met to ensure proper operation
A master receiver signals an end of data to the slave transmitter by not generating an acknowledge (NACK) after the last byte has been clocked out of the slave. The master receiver holding the SDA line high does this. In this event, the transmitter must release the data line to enable the master to generate a stop condition.
Figure 14 shows the start and stop conditions of the transfer. Figure 15 shows the SDA and SCL signals for transferring a bit. Figure 16 shows a data transfer sequence with the ACK or NACK at the last clock pulse.
