Read and write operations
The I²C interface is used to control and read the current accumulator and registers. It is
compatible with the Philips I²C Bus® (version 2.1). It is a slave serial interface with a serial
data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL).
• SCL: input clock used to shift data
• SDA: input/output bidirectional data transfers
A filter rejects the potential spikes on the bus data line to preserve data integrity.
The bidirectional data line supports transfers up to 400 Kbit/s (fast mode). The data are
shifted to and from the chip on the SDA line, MSB first.
The first bit must be high (START) followed by the 7-bit device address and the read/write
control bit. Bits DevADDR0 to DevADDR2 are factory-programmable, the default device
address value being 1110 000 (AddrID0 = AddrID1 = AddrID2 = 0). The STC3115 then
sends an acknowledge at the end of an 8-bit long sequence. The next eight bits correspond
to the register address followed by another acknowledge.
The data field is the last 8-bit long sequence sent, followed by a last acknowledge.
