out of the slave transmitter. The device that acknowledges has to pull down the SDA_IN line during the
acknowledge clock pulse. Of course, setup and hold time must be taken into account. A master receiver
must signal 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.
Connecting SDA_IN and SDA_OUT together the SDA line become the standard data line. Having the ac-
knowledge output (SDAOUT) separated from the serial data line is advantageous in Chip-On-Glass
(COG) applications. In COG applications where the track resistance from the SDAOUT pad to the system
SDA line can be significant, a potential divider is generated by the bus pull-up resistor and the Indium Tin
Oxide (ITO) track resistance. It is possible that during the acknowledge cycle the STE2004 will not be able
to create a valid logic 0 level. By splitting the SDA input from the output the device could be used in a mode
that ignores the acknowledge bit. In COG applications where the acknowledge cycle is required, it is nec-
essary to minimize the track resistance from the SDACK pad to the system SDA line to guarantee a valid
LOW level.
To be compliant with the I
quence "S00001xxx". After this sequence no acknowledge pulse is generated.
Since no internal modification are applied to work in Hs-mode, the device is able to work in Hs-mode with-
out detecting the master code.

The STE2004 is an I
are allowed.
Four are the device addresses available for the device. All have in common the first 5 bits (01111). The
two least significant bit of the slave address are set by connecting the SA0 and SA1 inputs to a logic 0 or
to a logic 1.
To start the communication between the bus master and the slave LCD driver, the master must initiate a
START condition. Following this, the master sends an 8-bit byte, on the SDA bus line (Most significant bit
first). This consists of the 7-bit Device select Code, and the 1-bit Read/Write Designator (R/W).
All slaves with the corresponding address acknowledge in parallel, all the others will ignore the I
transfer.
