InputDataProtocol
CONFIGURATION REGISTER OPERATION
The protocol defines any device that sends data onto the
bus as a transmitter and any device that receives data as
a receiver. The device controlling data transmission is
called the Master and the controlled device is called the
Slave. InallcasestheSMS47willbeaSlavedevice,since
it never initiates any data transfers.
Data for the configuration registers is read and written via
theI2Cindustrystandardtwo-wireinterface. Thebuswas
designed for two-way, two-line serial communication be-
tween different integrated circuits. The two lines are a
serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). The
SDA line must be connected to a positive supply by a pull-
upresistor,locatedsomewhere onthebus. See Operating
Characteristics: Table 10 and Figure 9 below.
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The
data on the SDA line must remain stable during clock high
time because changes on the data line while SCL is high
will be interpreted as start or stop condition.
