Figure 9. Register Address Byte

In the READ mode, when auto increment is enabled, I2C master could receive any number of bytes from LP3944

without selecting chip address and register address again. Every time the I2C master reads a register, the

LP3944 will increment the register address and the next data register will be read. When I2C master reaches the

last register (09H register), the register address will roll over to 00H.

In the WRITE mode, when auto increment is enabled, the LP3944 will increment the register address every time

I2C master writes to register. When the last register (09H register) is reached, the register address will roll over to

02H, because the first two registers in LP3944 are read-only registers. It is possible to write to these two

registers, and the LP3944 will acknowledge, but the data will be ignored.

In the LP3944, registers 0x01, 0x08 and 0x09 are not functional. However, it is still necessary to read from 0x01

and to write to 0x08 and 0x09 in Auto Increment mode. They cannot be skipped.

If auto increment is disabled, and the I2C master does not change register address, it will continue to write data

into the same register.
