I²C Interface

4.1

Read and write operations

The I²C interface is used to configure, control and read the operation status of the device. It is compatible with the

Philips I²C Bus® (version 2.1). The I²C is a slave serial interface based on two signals:

•

SCL - serial clock line: input clock used to shift data

•

SDA - serial data line: input/output bidirectional data transfers

A filter rejects the potential spikes on the bus data line to preserve data integrity.

The bidirectional data line supports transfers up to 400 Kbit/s (fast mode). The data are shifted to and from the

chip on the SDA line, MSB first.

The first bit must be high (START) followed by the 7-bit device address and the read/write control bit.

Four 7-bit device address are available for the STUSB4500 thanks to the external programming of DevADDR0

and DevADDR1 bits through ADDR0 and ADDR1 pins setting i.e. 0x28 or 0x29 or 0x2A or 0x2B. It allows four
