6-2-1  2-wire Serial Communication Operation Specifications 
The 2-wire serial communication method conforms to the Camera Control Instance (CCI). CCI is an I
2
C fast-mode 
compatible interface, and the data transfer protocol is I
2
C standard. 
This 2-wire serial communication circuit can be used to access the control-registers and status-registers of 
IMX477-AACK-C.
