A.6 Combining Address and Data Bytes into a Transmission
A transmission consists of a START condition, an SLA+R/W, one or more data bytes and a
STOP condition. The wired “ANDing” of the SCL line is used to implement handshaking between
the host and the device. The device extends the SCL low period by pulling the SCL line low
whenever it needs extra time for processing between the data transmissions.
Note: Each write or read cycle must end with a stop condition. The device may not respond
correctly if a cycle is terminated by a new start condition.
Figure A-6 shows a typical data transmission. Note that several data bytes can be transmitted
between the SLA+R/W and the STOP.
