C START AND STOP CONDITIONS
2
START and STOP bits classify the beginning and the end of the I
C session. START condition is defined as SDA signal
transitioning from HIGH to LOW while SCL line is HIGH. STOP condition is defined as the SDA transitioning from LOW to HIGH

2
while SCL is HIGH. The I
C master always generates START and STOP bits. The I
C bus is considered to be busy after START
2
condition and free after STOP condition. During data transmission, I
C master can generate repeated START conditions. First
START and repeated START conditions are equivalent, function-wise.

TRANSFERRING DATA
Every byte put on the SDA line must be eight bits long, with the most significant bit (MSB) being transferred first. Each byte of data
has to be followed by an acknowledge bit. The acknowledge related clock pulse is generated by the master. The transmitter
releases the SDA line (HIGH) during the acknowledge clock pulse. The receiver must pull down the SDA line during the 9th clock
pulse, signifying an acknowledge. A receiver which has been addressed must generate an acknowledge after each byte has been
received.
2
After the START condition, the I
C master sends a chip address. This address is seven bits long followed by an eighth bit which
is a data direction bit (R/W). The LP3936 address is 36h. For the eighth bit, a “0” indicates a WRITE and a “1” indicates a READ.
The second byte selects the register to which the data will be written. The third byte contains data to write to the selected register.

C Write Cycle

w = write (SDA = “0”)
r = read (SDA = “1”)
ack = acknowledge (SDA pulled down by either master or slave)
rs = repeated start
id = chip address, 36h for LP3936
When a READ function is to be accomplished, a WRITE function must precede the READ function, as shown in the Read Cycle
waveform.
