In order to prevent address clashes, due to the limited range of the 7-bit addresses, 10-bit address support is added. After the start condition, a leading ‘11110’ introduces the 10-bit addressing scheme. The last two address bits of the first byte concatenated with the eight bits of the second byte of the whole 10-bit address. Devices which only use 7-bit addressing simply ignore messages with the leading ‘11110’.
A Controller transmitter addresses the Target with two address bytes as described above with the RW-Bit=’0′ followed by data bytes from the Controller.
The Controller receiver transfer is only possible with a Combined Transfer due to the fact that the second address byte can only be transmitted if the RW-Bit of the first address byte is ‘0’. Hence, the start of a Controller receiver transfer will be the same as a Controller transmitter transfer followed by a repeated start condition and the first byte of address byte with RW-Bit=’1′ (switching to Target transmitter mode).
Refer to the following Controller receiver sequence:
