I
2
C SLAVE INTERFACE
Additionally to the I
2
C master interface described in
the previous chapter, iC-PVS will always act as an I2C
slave when V(VDD) > V
on
and setting DISI2C = 0 (see
Table 6).
The I
2
C device IDs is:
0b1100 001
All iC-PVS internal registers can be addressed accord-
ing to the register map on page 14 and following pages.
The I
2
C communication protocol described in Figure 33
may be used for read and write register access. The
position data can be read from direct access register
0x50 up to 0x57.
Note:
For a consistent position information it is neces-
sary to stop the register updating before read-out. The
commands FORCE_REQ and UNFORCE_REG must
be used to freeze the data during multiple read cycles.
If the register 0x50...0x57 are read without first
issuing the UNFORCE_REQ command, the stored
position may change during readout time and the
received position data will be inconsistent.
For
command description refer to chapter Commands on
page 46 and following pages.
