6.5 Programming

The MC121-Q1 supports I2C programming in test mode. Section 6.4.4 describes the method to enter test mode to read and write to the registers and to program the OTP memory during system prototyping and production. External programming hardware or an on-board microcontroller can interface with the MC121-Q1 over the I2C interface. The following sections describe the details of the I2C communication protocol.
