M24LR16E-R protocol description

The transmission protocol (or simply “the protocol”) defines the mechanism used to

exchange instructions and data between the VCD and the M24LR16E-R in both directions.

It is based on the concept of “VCD talks first”.

This means that an M24LR16E-R does not start transmitting unless it has received and

properly decoded an instruction sent by the VCD. The protocol is based on an exchange of:

●

a request from the VCD to the M24LR16E-R,

●

a response from the M24LR16E-R to the VCD.

Each request and each response are contained in a frame. The frame delimiters (SOF,

EOF) are described in Section 12.

Each request consists of:

●

a request SOF (see Figure 20 and Figure 21),

●

flags,

●

a command code,

●

parameters depending on the command,

●

application data,

●

a 2-byte CRC,

●

a request EOF (see Figure 22).

Each response consists of:

●

an answer SOF (see Figure 35 to Figure 40),

●

flags,

●

parameters depending on the command,

●

application data,

●

a 2-byte CRC,

●

an answer EOF (see Figure 41 to Figure 46).

The protocol is bit-oriented. The number of bits transmitted in a frame is a multiple of eight

(8), that is an integer number of bytes.

A single-byte field is transmitted least significant bit (LSBit) first. A multiple-byte field is

transmitted least significant byte (LSByte) first and each byte is transmitted least significant

bit (LSBit) first.

The setting of the flags indicates the presence of the optional fields. When the flag is set (to

one), the field is present. When the flag is reset (to zero), the field is absent.
