Signaling Requirements
Sending Data to the W40S11-02
As shown in Figure 2, valid data bits are defined as stable logic
0 or 1 condition on the data line during a clock HIGH (logic 1)
pulse. A transitioning data line during a clock HIGH pulse may
be interpreted as a start or stop pulse (it will be interpreted as
a start or stop pulse if the start/stop timing parameters are
met).
The device accepts data once it has detected a valid start bit
and address byte sequence. Device functionality is changed
upon the receipt of each data bit (registers are not double
buffered). Partial transmission is allowed meaning that a trans-
mission can be truncated as soon as the desired data bits are
transmitted (remaining registers will be unmodified). Trans-
mission is truncated with either a stop bit or new start bit
(restart condition).
A write sequence is initiated by a “start bit” as shown in Figure
1. A “stop bit” signifies that a transmission has ended.
As stated previously, the W40S11-02 sends an “acknowledge”
pulse after receiving eight data bits in each byte as shown in
Figure 2.
