the serial interface logic if either of the SMBData or SMBCLK

lines are held low between 25 ms and 40 ms. TIMEOUT al-

lows a clean recovery in cases where the master may be re-

set while the LM83 is transmitting a low bit thus preventing

possible bus lock up.

Whenever the LM83 sees the start condition its serial inter-

face will reset to the beginning of the communication, thus

the LM83 will expect to see an address byte next. This sim-

plifies recovery when the master is reset while the LM83 is

transmitting a high.
