OPERATING MODES
The M41ST84Y/W clock operates as a slave de-
vice on the serial bus. Access is obtained by im-
plementing a start condition followed by the
correct slave address (D0h). The 64 bytes con-
tained in the device can then be accessed sequen-
tially in the following order:

2-Wire Bus Characteristics
The bus is intended for communication between
different ICs. It consists of two lines: a bi-direction-
al data signal (SDA) and a clock signal (SCL).
Both the SDA and SCL lines must be connected to
a positive supply voltage via a pull-up resistor.
The following protocol has been defined:
– Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus

– Changes in the data line, while the clock line is
Accordingly, the following bus conditions have
been defined:
Bus not busy. Both data and clock lines remain
High.
Start data transfer. A change in the state of the
data line, from High to Low, while the clock is High,
defines the START condition.
Stop data transfer. A change in the state of the
data line, from Low to High, while the clock is High,
defines the STOP condition.
Data Valid. The state of the data line represents
valid data when after a start condition, the data line
is stable for the duration of the high period of the
clock signal. The data on the line may be changed
during the Low period of the clock signal. There is
one clock pulse per bit of data.
Each data transfer is initiated with a start condition
and terminated with a stop condition. The number
of data bytes transferred between the start and
stop conditions is not limited. The information is
transmitted byte-wide and each receiver acknowl-
edges with a ninth bit.
By definition a device that gives out a message is
called “transmitter”, the receiving device that gets
the message is called “receiver”. The device that
controls the message is called “master”. The de-
vices that are controlled by the master are called
“slaves”.
Acknowledge. Each byte of eight bits is followed
by one Acknowledge Bit. This Acknowledge Bit is
a low level put on the bus by the receiver whereas
the master generates an extra acknowledge relat-
ed clock pulse. A slave receiver which is ad-
dressed is obliged to generate an acknowledge
after the reception of each byte that has been
clocked out of the slave transmitter.
The device that acknowledges has to pull down
the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse
in such a way that the SDA line is a stable Low dur-
ing the High period of the acknowledge related
clock pulse. Of course, setup and hold times must
be taken into account. A master receiver must sig-
nal an end of data to the slave transmitter by not
generating an acknowledge on the last byte that
has been clocked out of the slave. In this case the
transmitter must leave the data line High to enable
the master to generate the STOP condition.
High, will be interpreted as control signals.
