4. Control Registers
4.1. I
2
C Interface
To enhance the flexibility and function of the clock buffer, an I
2
C interface is provided. Through the I
2
C Interface,
various device functions are available, such as individual clock output enable. The registers associated with the I
2
C
Interface initialize to their default setting at power-up. The use of this interface is optional. Clock device register
changes are normally made at system initialization, if any are required. Power management functions can only be
programed in program mode and not in normal operation modes.
4.2. Data Protocol
The I
2
C protocol accepts byte write, byte read, block write, and block read operations from the controller. For block
write/read operation, access the bytes in sequential order from lowest to highest (most significant bit first) with the
ability to stop after any complete byte is transferred. For byte write and byte read operations, the system controller
can access individually indexed bytes.
The block write and block read protocol is outlined in Table 4 while Table 5 outlines byte write and byte read
protocol. The slave receiver address is 11010110 (D6h).
