Acknowledge

After every byte transferred the receiver must output an acknowledge bit. To acknowledge

the data byte receiver pulls SDA during the 9th SCL clock cycle generated by the master. If

SDA is not pulled low then the transmitter stops the output of data and releases control of

the bus back to the master so that it can either generate a STOP or a repeated START

condition.

Index space

Communication using the serial bus centres around a number of registers internal to the

either the sensor or the co-processor. These registers store sensor status, set-up, exposure

and system information. Most of the registers are read/write allowing the receiving

equipment to change their contents. Others (such as the chip id) are read only.

The internal register locations are organized in a 64k by 8-bit wide space. This space

includes “real” registers, SRAM, ROM and/or micro controller values.
