ACKNOWLEDGE AND NON-

ACKNOWLEDGE

The Master (microcontroller) and the slave (MCP3422/

3/4) use an acknowledge pulse as a hand shake of

communication for each byte. The ninth clock pulse of

each byte is used for the acknowledgement. The clock

pulse

always

provided

the

Master

(microcontroller) and the acknowledgement is issued

by the receiving device of the byte (Note: The

transmitting device must release the SDA line during

the acknowledge pulse.). The acknowledgement is

achieved by pulling-down the SDA line “LOW” during

the 9th clock pulse by the receiving device.

During

reads,

the

Master

(microcontroller)

can

terminate the current read operation by not providing

an acknowledge bit (not Acknowledge (NAK)) on the

last byte. In this case, the MCP3422/3/4 devices

release

the

SDA

line

allow

the

Master

(microcontroller) to generate a STOP or repeated

START condition.

The

non-acknowledgement

(NAK)

issued

providing the SDA line to “HIGH” during the 9th clock

pulse.
