I2C bus interface

Data transmission from microprocessor to the TDA7565 and vice versa takes place through

the 2 wires I2C bus interface, consisting of the two lines SDA and SCL (pull-up resistors to

positive supply voltage must be connected).

3.1

Data validity

As shown by Figure 4, the data on the SDA line must be stable during the high period of the

clock. The HIGH and LOW state of the data line can only change when the clock signal on

the SCL line is LOW.

3.2

Start and stop conditions

As shown by Figure 5 a start condition is a high to low transition of the SDA line while SCL is

HIGH. The stop condition is a low to high transition of the SDA line while SCL is high.

3.3

Byte format

Every byte transferred to the SDA line must contain 8 bits. Each byte must be followed by an

acknowledge bit. The MSB is transferred first.

3.4

Acknowledge

The transmitter* puts a resistive high level on the SDA line during the acknowledge clock

pulse (see Figure 6). The receiver** the acknowledges has to pull-down (low) the SDA line

during the acknowledge clock pulse, so that the SDA line is stable low during this clock

pulse.

* Transmitter

P) when it writes an address to the TDA7565

slave (TDA7565) when the

P reads a data byte from TDA7565

P writes an address to the TDA7565

–
