In applications where there might be several LMH0303s, the SDA, SCL, and FAULT pins can be shared. The
SCL, SDA, and FAULT pins are open drain and require external pullup resistors. Multiple LMH0303s may have
the FAULT pin wire ORed. This signal becomes active when either loss of signal is detected or any termination
faults are detected. The registers may be read in order to determine the cause. Additionally, each signal can be
masked from the FAULT pin.
TRANSFER OF DATA VIA THE SMBus
During normal operation the data on SDA must be stable during the time when SCL is High.
There are three unique states for the SMBus:
START: A High-to-Low transition on SDA while SCL is High indicates a message START condition.
STOP: A Low-to-High transition on SDA while SCL is High indicates a message STOP condition.
IDLE: If SCL and SDA are both High for a time exceeding t_BUF from the last detected STOP condition or if they
are High for a total exceeding the maximum specification for t_HIGH then the bus will transfer to the IDLE state.
SMBus TRANSACTIONS
The device supports WRITE and READ transactions. See Table 1 for register address, type (Read/Write, Read
Only), default value and function information.
WRITING A REGISTER
To write a register, the following protocol is used (see SMBus 2.0 specification).
1. The Host drives a START condition, the 7-bit SMBus address, and a “0” indicating a WRITE.
2. The Device (Slave) drives the ACK bit (“0”).
3. The Host drives the 8-bit Register Address.
4. The Device drives an ACK bit (“0”).
5. The Host drives the 8-bit data byte.
6. The Device drives an ACK bit (“0”).
7. The Host drives a STOP condition.
The WRITE transaction is completed, the bus goes IDLE and communication with other SMBus devices may
now occur.
READING A REGISTER
To read a register, the following protocol is used (see SMBus 2.0 specification).
1. The Host drives a START condition, the 7-bit SMBus address, and a “0” indicating a WRITE.
2. The Device (Slave) drives the ACK bit (“0”).
3. The Host drives the 8-bit Register Address.
4. The Device drives an ACK bit (“0”).
5. The Host drives a START condition.
6. The Host drives the 7-bit SMBus Address, and a “1” indicating a READ.
7. The Device drives an ACK bit “0”.
8. The Device drives the 8-bit data value (register contents).
9. The Host drives a NACK bit “1”indicating end of the READ transfer.
10. The Host drives a STOP condition.
