Figure 5. I²C-Compatible Serial-Interface Timing Diagram
The serial interface consists of a serial data line (SDA)
and a serial clock line (SCL). Standard I²C-compatible
write-byte commands are used. Figure 4 shows a tim-
ing diagram for the I²C protocol. The MAX1586/
MAX1587 are slave-only devices, relying upon a master
to generate a clock signal. The master (typically a
microprocessor) initiates data transfer on the bus and
generates SCL to permit data transfer. A master device
communicates to the MAX1586/MAX1587 by transmit-
ting the proper address followed by the 8-bit data code
(Table 2). Each transmit sequence is framed by a
START (A) condition and a STOP (L) condition. Each
word transmitted over the bus is 8 bits long and is
always followed by an acknowledge clock pulse.
Table 2 shows the serial data codes used to program
V3 and V6. The default power-up voltage for V3 is 1.3V
and for V6 is 0V.
Bit Transfer
One data bit is transferred during each SCL clock
cycle. The data on SDA must remain stable during the
high period of the SCL clock pulse. Changes in SDA
while SCL is high are control signals (see the START
and STOP Conditions section). Both SDA and SCL idle
high when the bus is not busy.
START and STOP Conditions
When the serial interface is inactive, SDA and SCL idle
high. A master device initiates communication by issu-
ing a START condition. A START condition is a high-to-
low transition on SDA with SCL high. A STOP condition
is a low-to-high transition on SDA while SCL is high
(Figure 5). A START condition from the master signals
the beginning of a transmission to the MAX1586/
MAX1587. The master terminates transmission by issu-
ing a not acknowledge followed by a STOP condition
(see the Acknowledge Bit section). The STOP condition
frees the bus.
When a STOP condition or incorrect address is detect-
ed, the MAX1586/MAX1587 internally disconnect SCL
from the serial interface until the next START condition,
minimizing digital noise and feedthrough.
Acknowledge Bit (ACK)
The acknowledge bit (ACK) is the ninth bit attached to
every 8-bit data word. The receiving device always
generates ACK. The MAX1586/MAX1587 generate an
ACK when receiving an address or data by pulling SDA
low during the ninth clock period. Monitoring ACK
allows for detection of unsuccessful data transfers. An
unsuccessful data transfer occurs if a receiving device
is busy or if a system fault has occurred. In the event of
an unsuccessful data transfer, the bus master should
reattempt communication at a later time.
Serial Address
A bus master initiates communication with a slave
device by issuing a START condition followed by the
7-bit slave address (Table 3). When idle, the
MAX1586/MAX1587 wait for a START condition fol-
lowed by its slave address. The serial interface com-
pares each address value bit by bit, allowing the
interface to power down immediately if an incorrect
address is detected.
