C Interface
General Characteristics
The I
2
C bus uses a data line (SDA) plus a clock signal
(SCL) for communication. Both SDA and SCL are bidi-
rectional lines, connected to a positive supply voltage
through a pullup resistor. When there is no communica-
tion, both lines are high. The output stages of devices
connected to the bus must have an open drain or open
collector to perform the wired-AND function. Data on the
I
2
C bus can be transferred at rates of up to 100kbps in
standard mode and up to 400kbps in fast mode. The
DS2465 works in both modes.
A device that sends data on the bus is defined as a
transmitter, and a device receiving data is defined as a
receiver. The device that controls the communication is
called a master. The devices that are controlled by the
master are slaves. To be individually accessed, each
device must have a slave address that does not conflict
with other devices on the bus.
Data transfers can be initiated only when the bus is not
busy. The master generates the serial clock (SCL), con-
trols the bus access, generates the START and STOP
conditions, and determines the number of data bytes
transferred between START and STOP (Figure 8). Data
is transferred in bytes with the most significant bit being
transmitted first. After each byte follows an acknowledge
bit to allow synchronization between master and slave.
Slave Address
The slave address to which the DS2465 responds is
shown in Figure 9. The slave address is part of the slave
address/control byte. The last bit of the slave address/
control byte (R/W) defines the data direction. When set
to 0, subsequent data flows from master to slave (write
access); when set to 1, data flows from slave to master
(read access).

C Definitions
The following terminology is commonly used to describe
I
2
C data transfers. The timing references are defined in
Figure 10.
Bus Idle or Not Busy: Both SDA and SCL are inactive
and in their logic-high states.
START Condition: To initiate communication with a
slave, the master must generate a START condition. A
START condition is defined as a change in state of SDA
from high to low while SCL remains high.
STOP Condition: To end communication with a slave,
the master must generate a STOP condition. A STOP
condition is defined as a change in state of SDA from
low to high while SCL remains high.
