8.5.2 Standard, Fast, Fast Mode Plus Protocol

The controller initiates a data transfer by generating a start condition. The start condition is when a high-to-low transition occurs on the SDA line while SCL is high, as shown in Figure 8-15. All I2C-compatible devices must recognize a start condition.

The controller then generates the SCL pulses, and transmits the 7-bit address and the read and write direction bit R/W on the SDA line. During all transmissions, the controller makes sure that data is valid. A valid data condition requires the SDA line to be stable during the entire high period of the clock pulse (see Figure 8-16). All devices recognize the address sent by the controller and compare the address to the internal fixed addresses. Only the target with a matching address generates an acknowledge (see Figure 8-17) by pulling the SDA line low during the entire high period of the ninth SCL cycle. Upon detecting this acknowledge, the controller knows that a communication link with a target has been established.

The controller generates further SCL cycles to either transmit data to the target (R/W bit 0) or receive data from the target (R/W bit 1). In either case, the target must acknowledge the data sent by the controller. So an acknowledge signal can either be generated by the controller or by the target, depending on which one is the receiver. 9-bit valid data sequences consisting of 8-bit data and 1-bit acknowledge can continue as long as necessary.

To signal the end of the data transfer, the controller generates a stop condition by pulling the SDA line from low to high while the SCL line is high (see Figure 8-15). This stop condition releases the bus and stops the communication link with the addressed target. All I2C-compatible devices must recognize the stop condition. Upon the receipt of a stop condition, all devices know that the bus is released, and they wait for a start condition followed by a matching address.

Attempting to read data from register addresses not listed in this section will result in 0x00 being read out.
