3. Acknowledge
Data is transmitted in 8-bit units. The device sends “low” of an acknowledge signal, by pulling SDA
during the 9th clock cycle, indicating that it has received data normally. The host releases the bus in the 9th
clock cycle to receive an acknowledge signal.
During a write operations, the device is always the receiver so that an acknowledge signal is sent each
time it has received 8-bit of data.
During a read operations, the device sends an acknowledge signal after it receives an address following a
start condition. Then, a read data is sent and releases the bus to wait for an acknowledge signal from the
master. When an acknowledge signal is detected, next address data is sent if a stop condition is not detected.
If the device does not detect an acknowledge signal, a read operations is stopped, and enters the standby
mode when a stop condition occurs subsequently.
If the device does not detect an acknowledge signal nor a stop condition, it keeps the bus released.

4. Device Addressing
After a start condition occurs, 7-bit device address and a 1-bit read/write instruction code are transferred
to the device.
The first four bits are called device code, which must always be “1”, “0”, “1”,“0”. The next two bits are
called slave address and are used to select a device on the bus. The slave address is compared to the value
on the address inputs (A1 and A2). The next bit is called page address (P0). P0 on “0” selects the memory
area of the first 2k-bit (000 to 0FF) and on “1” selects the memory area of the last 2k-bit (100 to 1FF).
The least significant bit ( R/W : READ/WRITE ) indicates a read instruction when set to “1” and a write
instruction when set to “0”.
An instruction is not executed if the device address does not match the specified value.
