I²C bus interface
Data transmission from main microprocessor to the LNBH23L and vice versa takes place
through the 2 wires I²C bus Interface, consisting of the 2 lines SDA and SCL (pull-up
resistors to positive supply voltage must be externally connected).
Data validity
As shown in
of the clock. The HIGH and LOW state of the data line can only change when the clock
signal on the SCL line is LOW.
Start and stop condition
As shown in
SCL is HIGH. The stop condition is a LOW to HIGH transition of the SDA line while SCL is
HIGH. A STOP condition must be sent before each START condition.
Byte format
Every byte transferred to the SDA line must contain 8 bits. Each byte must be followed by an
acknowledge bit. The MSB is transferred first.
Acknowledge
The master (microprocessor) puts a resistive HIGH level on the SDA line during the
acknowledge clock pulse (see
to pull-down (LOW) the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse, so that the SDA line is
stable LOW during this clock pulse. The peripheral which has been addressed has to
generate acknowledge after the reception of each byte, otherwise the SDA line remains at
the HIGH level during the ninth clock pulse time. In this case the master transmitter can
generate the STOP information in order to abort the transfer. The LNBH23L won't generate
acknowledge if the V
Transmission without acknowledge
Avoiding to detect the acknowledges of the LNBH23L, the microprocessor can use a simpler
transmission: simply it waits one clock cycle without checking the slave acknowledging, and
sends the new data. This approach of course is less protected from misworking and
decreases the noise immunity.
