A.3 START and STOP Conditions
The host initiates and terminates a data transmission. The transmission is initiated when the
host issues a START condition on the bus, and is terminated when the host issues a STOP
condition. Between the START and STOP conditions, the bus is considered busy. As shown in
Figure A-3, START and STOP conditions are signaled by changing the level of the SDA line
when the SCL line is high.
Figure A-3. START and STOP Conditions
A.4 Address Byte Format
All address bytes are 9 bits long, consisting of 7 address bits, one READ/WRITE control bit and
an acknowledge bit. If the READ/WRITE bit is set, a read operation is performed, otherwise a
write operation is performed. When the device recognizes that it is being addressed, it will
acknowledge by pulling SDA low in the ninth SCL (ACK) cycle. An address byte consisting of a
slave address and a READ or a WRITE bit is called SLA+R or SLA+W, respectively.
The most significant bit of the address byte is transmitted first. The address sent by the host
must be consistent with that selected with the option jumpers.
Figure A-4. Address Byte Format
A.5 Data Byte Format
All data bytes are 9 bits long, consisting of 8 data bits and an acknowledge bit. During a data
transfer, the host generates the clock and the START and STOP conditions, while the receiver is
responsible for acknowledging the reception. An acknowledge (ACK) is signaled by the receiver
pulling the SDA line low during the ninth SCL cycle. If the receiver leaves the SDA line high, a
NACK is signaled.
