Remote 16-bit I/O expander for Fm+ I2C-bus with interrupt and reset

9.3 Acknowledge

The number of data bytes transferred between the START and the STOP conditions from

transmitter to receiver is not limited. Each byte of eight bits is followed by one

acknowledge bit. The acknowledge bit is a HIGH level put on the bus by the transmitter,

whereas the master generates an extra acknowledge related clock pulse.

A slave receiver which is addressed must generate an acknowledge after the reception of

each byte. Also a master must generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte

that has been clocked out of the slave transmitter. The device that acknowledges has to

pull down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse, so that the SDA line is stable

LOW during the HIGH period of the acknowledge related clock pulse; set-up and hold

times must be taken into account.

A master receiver must signal an end of data to the transmitter by not generating an

acknowledge on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this event, the

transmitter must leave the data line HIGH to enable the master to generate a STOP

condition.
