The I2C bus employs two signals, SDA (data) and SCL (clock), to communicate between integrated circuits in a system. The bus transfers data serially, one bit at a time. The 8-bit address and data bytes are transferred with the most-significant bit (MSB) first. In addition, each byte transferred on the bus is acknowledged by the receiving device with an acknowledge bit. Each transfer operation begins with the controller device driving a start condition on the bus and ends with the controller device driving a stop condition on the bus. The bus uses transitions on the data pin (SDA) while the clock is at logic high to indicate start and stop conditions. A high-to-low transition on the SDA signal indicates a start, and a low-to-high transition indicates a stop. Normal data-bit transitions must occur within the low time of the clock period. Figure 7-8 shows a typical sequence. The controller device generates the 7-bit peripheral address and the read-write (R/W) bit to start communication with a peripheral device. The controller device then waits for an acknowledge condition. The peripheral device holds the SDA signal low during the acknowledge clock period to indicate acknowledgment. When the acknowledgment occurs, the controller transmits the next byte of the sequence. Each device is addressed by a unique 7-bit peripheral address plus a R/W bit (1 byte). All compatible devices share the same signals through a bidirectional bus using a wired-AND connection.
The number of bytes that can be transmitted between start and stop conditions is not limited. When the last word transfers, the controller generates a stop condition to release the bus. Figure 7-8 shows a generic data-transfer sequence.
Use external pull-up resistors for the SDA and SCL signals to set the logic-high level for the bus. Pull-up resistors between 660 O and 4.7kO are recommended. Do not allow the SDA and SCL voltages to exceed the DRV2624 supply voltage, VDD.
The DRV2624 peripheral address is 0x5A (7-bit), or 1011010 in binary.
Figure 7-8 Typical I2C SequenceThe DRV2624 device operates as an I2C-peripheral 1.8V logic thresholds, but can operate up to the VDD voltage. The device address is 0x5A (7-bit), or 1011010 in binary which is equivalent to 0xB4 (8-bit) for writing and 0xB5 (8-bit) for reading.
