ADM1027 WRITE OPERATIONS
The SMBus specification defines several protocols for different
types of read and write operations. The ones used in the
ADM1027 are discussed below. The following abbreviations are
used in the diagrams:
S – START
P – STOP
R – READ
W – WRITE
A – ACKNOWLEDGE
A – NO ACKNOWLEDGE
The ADM1027 uses the following SMBus write protocols:
Send Byte
In this operation, the master device sends a single command
byte to a slave device, as follows:
1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.
2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the
3. The addressed slave device asserts ACK on SDA.
4. The master sends a command code.
5. The slave asserts ACK on SDA.
6. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA and the
For the ADM1027, the send byte protocol is used to write a
register address to RAM for a subsequent single byte read from
the same address. This is illustrated in Figure 9.
If it is required to read data from the register immediately after
setting up the address, the master can assert a repeat start con-
dition immediately after the final ACK and carry out a single
byte read without asserting an intermediate stop condition.
Write Byte
In this operation, the master device sends a command byte and
one data byte to the slave device, as follows:
1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.
2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the

first writing to the address pointer register if the address
pointer register is already at the correct value. However, it is
not possible to write data to a register without writing to the
address pointer register, because the first data byte of a write
is always written to the address pointer register.

ADM1027 READ OPERATIONS
The ADM1027 uses the following SMBus read protocols:
Receive Byte
This is useful when repeatedly reading a single register. The
register address needs to have been set up previously. In this
operation, the master device receives a single byte from a slave
device, as follows:
1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.
2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the
3. The addressed slave device asserts ACK on SDA.
4. The master receives a data byte.
5. The master asserts NO ACK on SDA.
6. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA and the trans-
In the ADM1027, the receive byte protocol is used to read a
single byte of data from a register whose address has previously
been set by a send byte or write byte operation.
Alert Response Address
Alert Response Address (ARA) is a feature of SMBus devices,
which allows an interrupting device to identify itself to the host
when multiple devices exist on the same bus.
The SMBALERT output can be used as an interrupt output or
can be used as an SMBALERT. One or more outputs can be
connected to a common SMBALERT line connected to the
master. If a device’s SMBALERT line goes low, the following
procedure occurs:
1. SMBALERT is pulled low.
2. Master initiates a read operation and sends the alert response
3. The device whose SMBALERT output is low responds to

be interrogated in the usual way.

with normal SMBus arbitration.
