I²C interface

7.1

Read and write operations

The I²C interface is used to control and read the current accumulator and registers. It is

compatible with the Philips I²C Bus® (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 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. Bits DevADDR0 to DevADDR2 are factory-programmable, the default device

address value being 1110 000 (AddrID0 = AddrID1 = AddrID2 = 0). The GG25L then sends

an acknowledge at the end of an 8-bit long sequence. The next eight 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.
