I

C Communication
The I
2
C standard uses two signal lines, I
2
C
data (SDA) and serial clock (SCL). The
device supports both standard, 100 kHz, and
fast, 400 kHz, serial clocks. In accordance
with I
2
C protocol, the L3G4200D has a device
specific 7-bit address used by the serial
master to communicate with multiple devices
on a data bus. The device uses the address
110100xb, where pin 3 on J1 (SDO/SA0)
defines the least-significant-bit (LSB). By
default, the LSB of the address while be ‘1’
due to a pull-up resistor on JP1 as shown by
the schematic available on the Digilent
website. While the default value is ‘1’, by
simply connecting pin 3 on J1 to the ground
rail the user can change the LSB to a ‘0’. This
user selectable bit enables two PmodGYROs
to be used on the same I
2
C bus. The data
sheet for the L3G4200D contains further
device specific I
2
C information.
