Received Data (I
2
C bus READ MODE)
The ISL6423B can provide to the master a copy of the
system register information via the I
2
C bus in read mode.
The read mode is Master activated by sending the chip
address with R/W bit set to 1. At the following Master
generated clock bits, the ISL6423B issues a byte on the
SDA data bus line (MSB transmitted first).
At the ninth clock bit the MCU master can:
• Acknowledge the reception, starting in this way the
transmission of another byte from the ISL6423B.
• Not acknowledge, stopping the read mode
communication.
The read only bits of the register SR1 convey diagnostic
information about the ISL6423B, as indicated in the Table 7.
Power–On I
2
C Interface Reset
The I
2
C interface built into the ISL6423B is automatically reset
at power-on. The I
2
C interface block will receive a Power OK
logic signal from the UVLO circuit. This signal will go HIGH
when chip power is OK. As long as this signal is LOW, the
interface will not respond to any I
2
C commands and the
system register SR1 thru SR4 are all initialized to all zero,
thus keeping the power blocks disabled. Once the V
CC
rises
above UVLO, the POWER OK signal to the I
2
C is asserted
high, and the I
2
C interface becomes operative and the SR’s
can be configured by the main microprocessor. About 400mV
of hysteresis is provided in the UVLO threshold to avoid false
triggering of the Power-On reset circuit. (I
2
C comes up with
EN = 0; EN goes HIGH at the same time as (or later than) all
other I
2
C data for that PWM becomes valid).
ADDR0 and ADDR1 Pins
Connecting these pin to GND the chip I
2
C interface address
is 0001000, but, it is possible to choose between four
different addresses by setting these pins to the logic levels
indicated in Table 11.
