[AK4710]
1. WRITE Operations
Figure 7 shows the data transfer sequence in I²C-bus mode. All commands are preceded by a START condition. A HIGH
to LOW transition on the SDA line while SCL is HIGH indicates a START condition (Figure 13). After the START
condition, a slave address is sent. This address is 7bits long followed by the eighth bit that is a data direction bit (R/W).
The most significant seven bits of the slave address are fixed as “0010001”. If the slave address match that of the
AK4710, the AK4710 generates the acknowledge and the operation is executed. The master must generate the
acknowledge-related clock pulse and release the SDA line (HIGH) during the acknowledge clock pulse (Figure 15). A
“1” for R/W bit indicates that the read operation is to be executed. A “0” indicates that the write operation is to be
executed. The second byte consists of the address for control registers of the AK4710. The format is MSB first, and those
most significant 3-bits are fixed to zeros (Figure 9). The data after the second byte contain control data. The format is
MSB first, 8bits (Figure 10). The AK4710 generates an acknowledge after each byte has been received. A data transfer is
always terminated by a STOP condition generated by the master. A LOW to HIGH transition on the SDA line while SCL
is HIGH defines a STOP condition (Figure 13).
The AK4710 can execute multiple one byte write operations in a sequence. After receipt of the third byte, the AK4710
generates an acknowledge, and awaits the next data again. The master can transmit more than one byte instead of
terminating the write cycle after the first data byte is transferred. After the receipt of each data, the internal address
counter is incremented by one, and the next data is taken into next address automatically. If the address exceeds 0DH prior
to generating the stop condition, the address counter will “roll over” to 00H and the previous data will be overwritten.
The data on the SDA line must be stable during the HIGH period of the clock. The HIGH or LOW state of the data line
can only change when the clock signal on the SCL line is LOW (Figure 15) except for the START and the STOP
condition.
