I/O Port
When an I/O is configured as an input, FETs Q1 and Q2 are off, which creates a high-impedance input. The
input voltage may be raised above V_CC to a maximum of 5.5 V.
If the I/O is configured as an output, Q1 or Q2 is enabled depending on the state of the Output Port Register. In
this case, there are low impedance paths between the I/O pin and either V_CC or GND. The external voltage
applied to this I/O pin should not exceed the recommended levels for proper operation.
I²C Interface
The bidirectional I²C bus consists of the serial clock (SCL) and serial data (SDA) lines. Both lines must be
connected to a positive supply through a pullup resistor when connected to the output stages of a device. Data
transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy.
I²C communication with this device is initiated by a master sending a Start condition, a high-to-low transition on
the SDA input/output, while the SCL input is high (see Figure 1). After the Start condition, the device address
byte is sent, most significant bit (MSB) first, including the data direction bit (R/W).
After receiving the valid address byte, this device responds with an acknowledge (ACK), a low on the SDA
input/output during the high of the ACK-related clock pulse. The address (ADDR) input of the slave device must
not be changed between the Start and the Stop conditions.
On the I²C bus, only one data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain
stable during the high pulse of the clock period, as changes in the data line at this time are interpreted as control
commands (Start or Stop) (see Figure 2).
