Clock and Data Conventions
Data states on the SDA line can change only during SCL

The device controlling the transfer is a master and the
device being controlled is the slave. The master will always
initiate data transfers and provide the clock for both transmit
Start Condition
All commands are preceded by the start condition,
which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA when SCL is

considered a slave in all applications.

lines for the start condition and will not respond to
any command until this condition has been met.
