precision DCP by setting this bit to 1. Default value of the
Precision Off bit is 0, i.e. matching to external resistor is ON.
Note, if the external resistor between REF_A/REF_B is not
populated, the DCP will work as a normal DCP without giving
99% precision and with ~40% higher value of the resistance. It
is highly recommended to use the bit option (MSR<6>) to turn
OFF the precision mode first and then removing the external
resistor.
All other bits MSR<5:0> are reserved and cannot be written.
Any value read from these bits should be ignored.
I2C Serial Interface
The ISL22317 supports an I2C bi-directional bus oriented
protocol. The protocol defines any device that sends data onto
the bus as a transmitter and the receiving device as the
receiver. The device controlling the transfer is a master and the
device being controlled is the slave. The master always
initiates data transfers and provides the clock for both transmit
and receive operations. Therefore, the ISL22317 operates as a
slave device in all applications.
All communication over the I2C interface is conducted by
sending the MSB of each byte of data first.
Protocol Conventions
Data states on the SDA line must change only during SCL
LOW periods. SDA state changes during SCL HIGH are
reserved for indicating START and STOP conditions (see
Figure 21). On power-up of the ISL22317, the SDA pin is in the
input mode.
All I2C interface operations must begin with a START
condition, which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA while SCL
is HIGH. The ISL22317 continuously monitors the SDA and
SCL lines for the START condition and does not respond to
any command until this condition is met (see Figure 21). A
START condition is ignored during the power-up of the device.
All I2C interface operations must be terminated by a STOP
condition, which is a LOW to HIGH transition of SDA while SCL
is HIGH (see Figure 21). A STOP condition at the end of a read
operation, or at the end of a write operation, places the device
in its standby mode.
An ACK, Acknowledge, is a software convention used to
indicate a successful data transfer. The transmitting device,
either master or slave, releases the SDA bus after transmitting
eight bits. During the ninth clock cycle, the receiver pulls the
SDA line LOW to acknowledge the reception of the eight bits of
data (see Figure 22).
The ISL22317 responds with an ACK after recognition of a
START condition followed by a valid Identification Byte, and
once again after successful receipt of an Address Byte. The
ISL22317 also responds with an ACK after receiving a Data
Byte of a write operation. The master must respond with an
ACK after receiving a Data Byte of a read operation
A valid Identification Byte contains 01010 as the five MSBs,
and the following bit matching the logic value present at pin A1.
The LSB is the Read/Write bit. Its value is “1” for a Read
operation, and “0” for a Write operation (See Table 4).
