Slave Address: equiva-
lent to chip-select line of
a 3-wire interface
Command Byte: selects which
register you are writing to
Data Byte: data goes into the register
set by the command byte (to set
thresholds, configuration masks, and
sampling rate)

by the last Read Byte or
Write Byte transmission;
also used for SMBus Alert
Response return address
Command Byte: sends com-
mand with no data, usually
used for one-shot command
S = Start condition
P = Stop condition
Shaded = Slave transmission
/// = Not acknowledged
