DS1050

The master device generates all 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 will not be released.
The DS1050 may operate in the following two modes:
1. Slave receiver mode: Serial data and clock are received through SDA and SCL, respectively. 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 (device) address and direction bit.
2. Slave transmitter mode: The first byte is received and handled as in the slave receiver mode.
However, in this mode the direction bit will indicate that the transfer direction is reversed. Serial data
is transmitted on SDA by the DS1050 while the serial clock is input on SCL. START and STOP
conditions are recognized as the beginning and end of a serial transfer.
SLAVE ADDRESS
A command/control byte is the first byte received following the START condition from the master
device. The command/control byte consists of a four-bit control code. For the DS1050, this is set as 0101
binary for read/write operations. The next three bits of the command/control byte are the device select
bits or slave address (A2, A1, A0). They are used by the master device to select which of eight possible
devices is to be accessed. When reading or writing the DS1050, the device select bits must match the
device select pins (A2, A1, A0). The last bit of the command/control byte (R/W) defines the operation to
be performed. When set to a one a read operation is selected, and when set to a zero a write operation is
selected. The command control byte is presented in Figure 3.
Following the START condition, the DS1050 monitors the SDA bus checking the device type identifier
being transmitted. Upon receiving the 0101 control code, the appropriate device address bits, and the
read/write bit, the slave device outputs an “acknowledge” signal on the SDA line.
COMMAND AND PROTOCOL
The command and protocol structure of the DS1050 allows the user to read or write the PWM
configuration register or place the device in a low-current state (shut-down mode) and recall the device
from a low-current state. Additionally, the 2-wire command/protocol structure of the DS1050 will support
eight different devices that can be uniquely controlled.
Figure 4a, b, c, d, & e show the five different command and protocol bytes for the DS1050. These include
the following command operations: 1) Set PWM duty cycle, 2) Set PWM duty cycle 100%, 3) Set
shutdown mode, 4) Set recall mode, 5) Read PWM configuration register.
The command operation “Set PWM Duty Cycle” is used to configure the output duty cycle of the device.
The DS1050 has a 5-bit resolution and is capable of setting the duty cycle output from 0% up to 96.88%
in steps of 3.125%. A binary value of (00000B) sets the duty cycle output at 0% while a binary value of
(11111B) sets the duty cycle output at 96.88%.
The command operation “Set PWM Duty Cycle 100%” is used to configure the output duty cycle of the
device to a “full-on.” This command is provided in addition to the Set PWM Duty Cycle command for
flexibility and convenience in total duty cycle coverage. It allows the user to provide a total duty cycle
range from 0% to 100%.

The command operation “Set Shutdown Mode” is used to provide a low-current (inactive state) state for
the DS1050. When in a low-current state the DS1050 will draw currents less than or equal to 1mA. The
PWM
O
output will be high impedance.
The command operation “Set Recall Mode” is used to recall the DS1050 from a low-current state. The
value of the PWM
O
output is recalled to that prior to initiating a “Set shutdown mode” command.
The “Read PWM Duty Cycle” command is used to read the current setting of the PWM configuration
register. Information returned by this command includes PWM output value as well as whether the device
is in a shutdown configuration.
PWM data values and control/command values are always transmitted most significant bit (MSB) first.
During communications, the receiving unit always generates the “acknowledge.”
READING THE DS1050
As shown in Figure 4e, the DS1050 provides one read command operation. This operation allows the
user to read the current setting of the PWM configuration register. Specifically, the R/W bit of the
command/control byte is set equal to a 1 for a read operation. Communication to read the DS1050 begins
with a START condition which is issued by the master device. The command/control byte from the
master device will follow the START condition. Once the command/control byte has been received by
the DS1050, the part will respond with an ACKNOWLEDGE. The read/write bit of the command/control
byte, as stated, should be set equal to 1 for reading the DS1050.
When the master has received the ACKNOWLEDGE from the DS1050, the master can then begin to
receive the PWM configuration register data. As mentioned this data will be transmitted MSB first. Once
the eight bits of the PWM configuration register have been transmitted, the master will need to issue an
ACKNOWLEDGE, unless it is the only byte to be read, in which case the master issues a NOT
ACKNOWLEDGE. If desired the master may stop the communication transfer at this point by issuing the
STOP condition. Final communication transfer is terminated by issuing the STOP command. Again, the
flow of the read operation is presented in Figure 4e.
WRITING THE DS1050
A data flow diagram for writing the DS1050 is shown in Figures 4a, b, c, and d. The DS1050 has three
write commands that are used to change the PWM configuration register or the shutdown and recall mode
of the device.
All the write operations begin with a START condition. Following the START condition, the master
device will issue the command/control byte. The read/write bit of the command/control byte will be set to
“0” for writing the DS1050. Once the command/control byte has been issued and the master receives the
acknowledgment from the DS1050, PWM configuration data is transmitted to the DS1050 by the master
device.
A data byte for the DS1050 will contain PWM configuration data and shutdown/recall command data.
The five least significant bits of data specify the PWM configuration value while the three most
significant bits specify the whether the device is to be shutdown or recalled. When the DS1050 has
received the data byte, it will respond with an ACKNOWLEDGE. At this point, the new PWM
configuration register value and shutdown/recall command value will be updated in the DS1050. The
master device, after the receipt of the ACKNOWLEDGE, can continue to transmit additional data bytes

or if the transaction is complete respond with the STOP condition. The 2-wire serial timing diagram is
presented in Figure 5.
