WRITING/READING TO THE AD5934

The I2C interface specification defines several different protocols

for different types of read and write operations. This section

describes the protocols used in the AD5934. The figures in this

section use the abbreviations shown in Table 14.

User Command Codes

The command codes in Table 15 are used for reading/writing to

the interface. They are explained in detail in this section but are

grouped within Table 15 for easy reference.

Write

This command is used when writing

multiple bytes to the RAM; see the

Read

This command is used when reading

multiple bytes from RAM/memory; see

the Block Read section.

Address

Pointer

This command enables the user to set

the address pointer to any location in

the memory; the data contains the

address of the register to which the

pointer should be pointing.

Write Byte/Command Byte

In this operation, the master device sends a byte of data to the

slave device. The write byte can either be a data byte write to a

to a register, the command sequence is as follows (see Figure 26):

1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.

2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the

write bit (low).

3. The addressed slave device asserts an acknowledge on SDA.

4. The master sends a register address.

5. The slave asserts an acknowledge on SDA.

6. The master sends a data byte.

7. The slave asserts an acknowledge on SDA.

8. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA to end the

transaction.

Figure 26. Writing Register Data to Register Address

In the AD5934, the write byte protocol is also used to set a

pointer to a register address (see Figure 27). This protocol is

used for a subsequent single-byte read from the same address,

block read, or block write starting at that address.

To set a register pointer, the following sequence is applied:

1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.

2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the

write bit (low).

3. The addressed slave device asserts an acknowledge on SDA.

4. The master sends a pointer command code (see Table 15, an

address pointer = 1011 0000).

5. The slave asserts an acknowledge on SDA.

6. The master sends a data byte (a register address to where

the pointer is to point).

7. The slave asserts an acknowledge on SDA.

8. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA to end the

transaction.

BLOCK WRITE

In this operation, the master device writes a block of data to a

slave device (see Figure 28). The start address for a block write

must previously have been set. In the case of the AD5934, this is

done by setting a pointer to set the register address.

1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.

2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the

write bit (low).

3. The addressed slave device asserts an acknowledge on SDA.

4. The master sends an 8-bit command code (1010 0000) that

tells the slave device to expect a block write.

5. The slave asserts an acknowledge on SDA.

6. The master sends a data byte that tells the slave device the

number of data bytes to be sent to it.

7. The slave asserts an acknowledge on SDA.

8. The master sends the data bytes.

9. The slave asserts an acknowledge on SDA after each data byte.

10. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA to end the

transaction.
