Figure 11-19 and Figure 11-20 show Master-transmit-
ter and Master-receiver data transfer sequences.
When a master does not wish to relinquish the bus (by
generating a STOP condition), a repeated START con-
dition (Sr) must be generated. This condition is identi-
cal to the start condition (SDA goes high-to-low while
SCL is high), but occurs after a data transfer acknowl-
edge pulse (not the bus-free state). This allows a mas-
ter to send “commands” to the slave and then receive
the requested information or to address a different
slave device. This sequence is shown in Figure 11-21.

For 10-bit address:
S Slave Address R/W A Data A Data A/A P
'0' (write)

(n bytes - acknowledge)
S Slave Address R/W A1 Slave Address A2
First 7 bits

A master transmitter addresses a slave receiver with a
7-bit address. The transfer direction is not changed.
Data A Data A/A P

From slave to master
A = acknowledge (SDA low)
A = not acknowledge (SDA high)
S = Start Condition
P = Stop Condition
A master transmitter addresses a slave receiver
with a 10-bit address.

A master transmitter addresses a slave receiver
with a 10-bit address.

Combined format - A master addresses a slave with a 10-bit address, then transmits
data to this slave and reads data from this slave.
