13.4 Operation
The I
2
C bus interface has an I
2
C bus format and a serial format.
13.4.1 I
2
C Bus Data Format
The I
2
C bus format is an addressing format with an acknowledge bit. This is shown in figure 13.3.
The first frame following a start condition always consists of 9 bits.
The serial format is a non-addressing format with no acknowledge bit. This is shown in
figure 13.4.
Figure 13.5 shows the I
2
C bus timing.
The symbols used in figures 13.3 to 13.5 are explained in table 13.6.
