9.4 Acknowledge
The number of data bytes transferred between the START and STOP conditions from
transmitter to receiver is unlimited. Each byte of eight bits is followed by an acknowledge
cycle.
A slave receiver, which is addressed, must generate an acknowledge after the
reception of each byte.
Also a master receiver must generate an acknowledge after the reception of each
byte that has been clocked out of the slave transmitter.
The device that acknowledges must pull-down the SDA line during the acknowledge
clock pulse, so that the SDA line is stable LOW during the HIGH period of the
acknowledge related clock pulse (set-up and hold times must be taken into
consideration).
A master receiver must signal an end of data to the transmitter by not generating an
acknowledge on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this event, the
transmitter must leave the data line HIGH to enable the master to generate a STOP
condition.

C-bus protocol
9.5.1 Addressing
Before any data is transmitted on the I
2
C-bus, the device which should respond is
addressed first. The addressing is always carried out with the first byte transmitted after
the start procedure.
The PCF8563 acts as a slave receiver or slave transmitter. Therefore the clock signal SCL
is only an input signal, but the data signal SDA is a bidirectional line.
Two slave addresses are reserved for the PCF8563:
Read: A3h (10100011)
Write: A2h (10100010)
The PCF8563 slave address is illustrated in Figure 17
.
9.5.2 Clock and calendar READ or WRITE cycles
The I
2
C-bus configuration for the different PCF8563 READ and WRITE cycles is shown in
Figure 18
, Figure 19 and Figure 20. The register address is a 4-bit value that defines
which register is to be accessed next. The upper four bits of the register address are not
used.
