LTC2471/LTC2473 applicaTions inForMaTion The LTC2471/LTC2473 can only be addressed as a slave. Data Transferring It can only transmit the last conversion result. The serial After the START condition, the I2C bus is busy and data clock line, SCL, is always an input to the LTC2471/LTC2473 transfer can begin between the master and the addressed and the serial data line SDA is bidirectional. Figure 5 shows slave. Data is transferred over the bus in groups of nine the definition of the I2C timing. bits, one byte followed by one acknowledge (ACK) bit. The The START and STOP Conditions master releases the SDA line during the ninth SCL clock cycle. The slave device can issue an ACK by pulling SDA A START (S) condition is generated by transitioning SDA LOW or issue a Not Acknowledge (NACK) by leaving the from HIGH to LOW while SCL is HIGH. The bus is consid- SDA line HIGH impedance (the external pull-up resistor ered to be busy after the START condition. When the data will hold the line HIGH). Change of data only occurs while transfer is finished, a STOP (P) condition is generated by the clock line (SCL) is LOW. transitioning SDA from LOW to HIGH while SCL is HIGH. Output Data Format The bus is free after a STOP is generated. START and STOP conditions are always generated by the master. After a START condition, the master sends a 7-bit address followed by a read request (R) bit. The bit R is 1 for a When the bus is in use, it stays busy if a repeated START Read Request. If the 7-bit address matches the LTC2471/ (Sr) is generated instead of a STOP condition. The repeated LTC2473’s address (0010100 or 1010100, depending on START timing is functionally identical to the START and the state of the pin A0) the ADC is selected. When the is used for reading from the device before the initiation device is addressed during the conversion state, it does of a new conversion.
