2C Compatible Serial Interface

2C SIGNALS

The LP3906 features an I

2C compatible serial interface,

using two dedicated pins: SCL and SDA for I

2C clock and

data respectively. Both signals need a pull-up resistor ac-

cording to the I

2C specification. The LP3906 interface is an

2C slave that is clocked by the incoming SCL clock.

Signal timing specifications are according to the I

2C bus

specification. The maximum bit rate is 400 kbit/s. See I

specification from Philips for further details.

2C DATA VALIDITY

The data on the SDA line must be stable during the HIGH

period of the clock signal (SCL), e.g.- the state of the data

line can only be changed when CLK is LOW.

2C Signals: Data Validity

2C START AND STOP CONDITIONS

START and STOP bits classify the beginning and the end of

the I2C session. START condition is defined as the SDA

signal transitioning from HIGH to LOW while the SCL line is

HIGH. STOP condition is defined as the SDA transitioning

from LOW to HIGH while the SCL is HIGH. The I2C master

always generates START and STOP bits. The I2C bus is

considered to be busy after START condition and free after

STOP condition. During data transmission, I2C master can

generate repeated START conditions. First START and re-

peated START conditions are equivalent, function-wise.

START and STOP Conditions

TRANSFERRING DATA

Every byte put on the SDA line must be eight bits long, with

the most significant bit (MSB) being transferred first. Each

byte of data has to be followed by an acknowledge bit. The

acknowledged related clock pulse is generated by the mas-

ter. The transmitter releases the SDA line (HIGH) during the

acknowledge clock pulse. The receiver must pull down the

SDA line during the 9th clock pulse, signifying acknowledge-

ment. A receiver which has been addressed must generate

an acknowledgement (“ACK”) after each byte has been re-

ceived.

After the START condition, the I2C master sends a chip

address. This address is seven bits long followed by an

eighth bit which is a data direction bit (R/W). Please note that

according to industry I2C standards for 7-bit addresses, the

MSB of an 8-bit address is removed, and communication

actually starts with the 7th most significant bit. For the eighth

bit (LSB), a “0” indicates a WRITE and a “1” indicates a

READ. The second byte selects the register to which the

data will be written. The third byte contains data to write to

the selected register.

LP3906 has a chip address of 60’h, which is factory

programmed.
