PRODUCTION DATA
The ACK signaling takes place after each transmitted byte. The ACK bit allows the host to signal the transmitter that the byte is successfully received and another byte can be sent. All clock pulses, including the acknowledge 9th clock pulse, are generated by the host.
The transmitter releases the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse so the host can pull the SDA line LOW and SDA remains stable LOW during the HIGH period of this 9th clock pulse.
A NACK is signaled when the SDA line remains HIGH during the 9th clock pulse. The host can then generate either a STOP to abort the transfer or a repeated START to start a new transfer.
