I2C interface

8.1

Read and write operations

The interface is used to control and read the current accumulator and registers. It is

compatible with the Philips I2C registered trademark (version 2.1). It is a slave serial

interface with a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL).

●

SCL: input clock used to shift data.

●

SDA: 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 is shifted

to and from the chip on the SDA line, MSB first.

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

Bits DevADDR0 to DevADDR2 are factory-programmable, the default device address value

being 70h (AddrID0 = AddrID1 = AddrID2 = 0). The STC3100 then sends an acknowledge

at the end of an 8-bit long sequence. The next 8 bits correspond to the register address

followed by another acknowledge.

The data field is the last 8-bit long sequence sent, followed by a last acknowledge.
