I

C Serial Data Bus
The IDT1337G supports the I
2
C bus protocol. A device that
sends data onto the bus is defined as a transmitter and a
device receiving data as a receiver. The device that controls
the message is called a master. The devices that are
controlled by the master are referred to as slaves. A master
device that generates the serial clock (SCL), controls the
bus access, and generates the START and STOP conditions
must control the bus. The IDT1337G operates as a slave on
the I
2
C bus. Within the bus specifications, a standard mode
(100 kHz maximum clock rate) and a fast mode (400 kHz
maximum clock rate) are defined. The IDT1337G works in
both modes. Connections to the bus are made via the
open-drain I/O lines SDA and SCL.
The following bus protocol has been defined (see the “Data
Transfer on I
2
C Serial Bus” figure):
Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not
busy.
During data transfer, the data line must remain stable
whenever the clock line is HIGH. Changes in the data line
while the clock line is HIGH are interpreted as control
signals.
Accordingly, the following bus conditions have been defined:
Bus not busy: Both data and clock lines remain HIGH.
Start data transfer: A change in the state of the data line,
from HIGH to LOW, while the clock is HIGH, defines a
START condition.
Stop data transfer: A change in the state of the data line,
from LOW to HIGH, while the clock line is HIGH, defines the
STOP condition.
Data valid: The state of the data line represents valid data
when, after a START condition, the data line is stable for the
duration of the HIGH period of the clock signal. The data on
the line must be changed during the LOW period of the clock
signal. There is one clock pulse per bit of data.
Each data transfer is initiated with a START condition and
terminated with a STOP condition. The number of data
bytes transferred between START and STOP conditions are
not limited, and are determined by the master device. The
information is transferred byte-wise and each receiver
acknowledges with a ninth bit.
Acknowledge: Each receiving device, when addressed, is
obliged to generate an acknowledge after the reception of
each byte. The master device must generate an extra clock
pulse that is associated with this acknowledge bit.
A device that acknowledges must pull down the SDA line
during the acknowledge clock pulse in such a way that the
SDA line is stable LOW during the HIGH period of the
acknowledge related clock pulse. Of course, setup and hold
times must be taken into account. A master must signal an
end of data to the slave by not generating an acknowledge
bit on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In
this case, the slave must leave the data line HIGH to enable
the master to generate the STOP condition.

Data Transfer on I
2
C Serial Bus
Depending upon the state of the R/W bit, two types of data
transfer are possible:
1) Data transfer from a master transmitter to a slave
receiver. The first byte transmitted by the master is the
slave address. Next follows a number of data bytes. The
slave returns an acknowledge bit after each received byte.
Data is transferred with the most significant bit (MSB) first.
2) Data transfer from a slave transmitter to a master
receiver. The first byte (the slave address) is transmitted by
the master. The slave then returns an acknowledge bit,
followed by the slave transmitting a number of data bytes.
The master returns an acknowledge bit after all received
bytes other than the last byte. At the end of the last received
byte, a “not acknowledge” is returned. The master device
generates all of the serial clock pulses and the START and
STOP conditions. A transfer is ended with a STOP condition
or with a repeated START condition. Since a repeated
START condition is also the beginning of the next serial
transfer, the bus is not released. Data is transferred with the
most significant bit (MSB) first.
The IDT1337G can operate in the following two modes:
1) Slave Receiver Mode (Write Mode): Serial data and
clock are received through SDA and SCL. After each byte is
received an acknowledge bit is transmitted. START and
STOP conditions are recognized as the beginning and end
of a serial transfer. Address recognition is performed by
hardware after reception of the slave address and direction
bit (see the “Data Write–Slave Receiver Mode” figure). The
slave address byte is the first byte received after the START
condition is generated by the master. The slave address
byte contains the 7-bit IDT1337G address, which is
1101000, followed by the direction bit (R/W
), which is 0 for a
write. After receiving and decoding the slave address byte
the device outputs an acknowledge on the SDA line. After
the IDT1337G acknowledges the slave address + write bit,
the master transmits a register address to the IDT1337G.
This sets the register pointer on the IDT1337G. The master
may then transmit zero or more bytes of data, with the
IDT1337G acknowledging each byte received. The address
pointer increments after each data byte is transferred. The
master generates a STOP condition to terminate the data
write.
2) Slave Transmitter Mode (Read Mode): The first byte is
received and handled as in the slave receiver mode.
However, in this mode, the direction bit indicates that the
transfer direction is reversed. Serial data is transmitted on
SDA by the IDT1337G while the serial clock is input on SCL.
START and STOP conditions are recognized as the
beginning and end of a serial transfer (see the “Data
Read–Slave Transmitter Mode” figure). The slave address
byte is the first byte received after the START condition is
generated by the master. The slave address byte contains
the 7-bit IDT1337G address, which is 1101000, followed by
the direction bit (R/W
), which is 1 for a read. After receiving
and decoding the slave address byte the slave outputs an
acknowledge on the SDA line. The IDT1337G then begins
to transmit data starting with the register address pointed to

by the register pointer. If the register pointer is not written to
before the initiation of a read mode the first address that is
read is the last one stored in the register pointer. The
IDT1337G must receive a “not acknowledge” to end a read.
