Data Validity
The data on the SDA line must be stable during the High period of the clock. The High or
Low state of the data line can only change when the clock signal on the SCL line is Low as
illustrated in Figure 30.

START and STOP Conditions
Within the I2C bus protocol, unique situations arise which are defined as START and
STOP conditions. See Figure 31. A High-to-Low transition on the SDA line while SCL is
High indicates a START condition. A Low-to-High transition on the SDA line while SCL
is High defines a STOP condition.
START and STOP conditions are always generated by the master. The bus is considered to
be busy after the START condition. The bus is considered to be free a defined time after
the STOP condition.
