SLVA275C january 2010 – may 2023 UCD9081
Because the UCD9081 exhibits much control over a typical power system, the embedded application is not suspended or delayed while waiting for I2C commands. The embedded application provides mechanisms to always prioritize local sequencing and monitoring when I2C communication is interrupted. These mechanisms are primarily timers. Generally, if the timers expire, then the I2C master sees a NACK and must re-issue the command.
