When an SMBus Block Write or Block Read is initiated (see description of COMMAND Register), the byte

following the COMMAND byte is ignored but is a requirement of the SMBus specification. This field contains

the byte count (i.e. the number of bytes to be transferred). The TSL2580 (SMBus) device ignores this field and

extracts this information by counting the actual number of bytes transferred before the Stop condition is

detected.

When an I2C Write or I2C Read (Combined Format) is initiated, the byte count is also ignored but follows the

SMBus protocol specification. Data bytes continue to be transferred from the TSL2581 (I2C) device to Master

until a NACK is sent by the Master.

The data formats supported by the TSL2580 and TSL2581 devices are:

D Master transmitter transmits to slave receiver (SMBus and I2C):

− The transfer direction in this case is not changed.

D Master reads slave immediately after the first byte (SMBus only):

− At the moment of the first acknowledgment (provided by the slave receiver) the master transmitter

becomes a master receiver and the slave receiver becomes a slave transmitter.

D Combined format (SMBus and I2C):

− During a change of direction within a transfer, the master repeats both a START condition and the slave

address but with the R/W bit reversed. In this case, the master receiver terminates the transfer by

generating a NACK on the last byte of the transfer and a STOP condition.
