Frame Format

For I2C format, TC3567C first generates start condition. Then, it sends device recognition address (7 bit: [A6:A0]) and the first byte

address ([B7:B0]) for the access target. Next, it goes for read or write sequence. For I2C, every data is sent as MSB first. How to

specify the value and byte address of the device identification address, and it has been determined in accordance with the device

to be connected. In order to be connected, it must match the device to be connected. For read operation, TC3567C returns to the

serial memory either receive acknowledge bit (ACK) or receive not acknowledge bit (NACK) every time it receives one byte. For

write operation, TC3567C receives either ACK or NACK from the serial memory every time it sends one byte. It can handle not only

one byte but also several bytes in a row. TC3567C generates stop condition when it has finished all the read or write of data.

Figure 4-16 shows an example where TC3567C reads two-byte data. Figure 4-17 shows an example where TC3567C writes

two-byte data. In these examples, gray texts and lines indicate signals that are given by the serial memory. For read operation, after

having read the final byte data, TC3567C returns NACK with which the serial memory gets to know the completion of the read

operation.
