Master Transmitter Writing to a Slave Receiver (DAC8574) in Standard/Fast Modes

DAC8574

SLAS377B – JANUARY 2003 – REVISED DECEMBER 2004

All write access sequences begin with the device address (with R/W = 0) followed by the control byte. This

control byte specifies the operation mode of DAC8574 and determines which channel of DAC8574 is being

accessed in the subsequent read/write operation. The LSB of the control byte (PD0-Bit) determines if the

following data is power-down data or regular data.

With (PD0-Bit = 0) the DAC8574 expects to receive data in the following sequence HIGH-BYTE –LOW-BYTE –

HIGH-BYTE – LOW-BYTE..., until a STOP Condition or REPEATED START Condition on the I

2C-Bus is

recognized (refer to the DATA INPUT MODE section of Table 4).

With (PD0-Bit = 1) the DAC8574 expects to receive 2 Bytes of power-down data (refer to the POWER DOWN

MODE section of Table 4).

(1)

Use repeated START to secure bus operation and loop back to the stage of write addressing for next Write.

(2)

Once DAC8574 is properly addressed and control byte is sent, HIGH–BYTE–LOW–BYTE sequences can repeat until a STOP condition

or repeated START condition is received.
