13.8.5. System configuration
All ports connected to the I
2
C bus must be either open drain or open collector ports in order to enable AND
connections to multiple devices.
SCL and SDA are both connected to the V
IO
line via a pull-up resistance. Consequently, SCL and SDA are both held
at high level when the bus is released (when communication is not being performed).

Any device that controls the data transmission and data reception is defined as a "Master".
and any device that is controlled by a master device is defined as a “Slave”.
The device transmitting data is defined as a “Transmitter” and the device receiving data is defined as a receiver”
In the case of this RTC module, controllers such as a CPU are defined as master devices and the RTC module is
defined as a slave device. When a device is used for both transmitting and receiving data, it is defined as either a
transmitter or receiver depending on these conditions.
