STA350B, STA350BW

I2C bus specification

The STA350Bx supports the I2C protocol via the input ports SCL and SDA_IN (master to

slave) and the output port SDA_OUT (slave to master). This protocol defines any device

that sends data to the bus as a transmitter and any device that reads the data as a receiver.

The device that controls the data transfer is known as the master and the other as the slave.

The master always starts the transfer and provides data to the serial clock for

synchronization. The STA350Bx is always a slave device in all of its communications. It

supports up to 400 kb/s rate (fast-mode bit rate). The STA350Bx I2C is a slave-only

interface. The I2C interface works properly only in the case that the master clock generated

by the PLL has a frequency 10 times higher compared to the frequency of the applied SCL

signal.

7.1

Communication protocol

7.1.1

Data transition or change

Data changes on the SDA line must only occur when the SCL clock is low. An SDA

transition while the clock is high is used to identify a START or STOP condition.

7.1.2

Start condition

START is identified by a high-to-low transition of the data bus SDA signal while the clock

signal SCL is stable in the high state. A START condition must precede any command for

data transfer.

7.1.3

Stop condition

STOP is identified by a low-to-high transition of the data bus SDA signal while the clock

signal SCL is stable in the high state. A STOP condition terminates communication between

the STA350Bx and the bus master.

7.1.4

Data input

During data input the STA350Bx samples the SDA signal on the rising edge of clock SCL.

For correct device operation the SDA signal must be stable during the rising edge of the

clock and the data can change only when the SCL line is low.

7.2

Device addressing

To start communication between the master and the STA350Bx, the master must initiate a

start condition. Following this, the master sends 8 bits (MSB first) corresponding to the

device select address and read or write mode to the SDA line.

The seven most significant bits are the device address identifiers, corresponding to the I2C

bus definition. In the STA350Bx the I2C interface has two device addresses depending on

the SA port configuration, 0x38 when SA = 0, and 0x3A when SA = 1.

The eighth bit (LSB) identifies the read or write operation RW, this bit is set to 1 in read

mode and to 0 for write mode. After a START condition the STA350Bx identifies on the bus
