11.9.6 Acknowledge
The acknowledge related clock pulse is generated by the master. The transmitter releases the SDA
line (HIGH) during the acknowledge clock pulse. The receiver must pull down the SDA line during the
acknowledge clock pulse so that it remains stable LOW during the HIGH period of this clock pulse.
When a slave is addressed by a master (Address Packet), and if it is unable to receive or transmit
because it’s performing some real time function, the data line must be left HIGH by the slave. And
also, when a slave addressed by a master is unable to receive more data bits, the slave receiver must
release the SDA line (Data Packet). The master can then generate either a STOP condition to abort
the transfer, or a repeated START condition to start a new transfer.
If a master receiver is involved in a transfer, it must signal the end of data to the slave transmitter by
not generating an acknowledge on the last byte that was clocked out of the slave. The slave
transmitter must release the data line to allow the master to generate a STOP or repeated START
condition.
11.9.7 Synchronization / Arbitration
Clock synchronization is performed using the wired-AND connection of I
2
C interfaces to the SCL
line. This means that a HIGH to LOW transition on the SCL line will cause the devices concerned to
start counting off their LOW period and it will hold the SCL line in that state until the clock HIGH state
is reached. However the LOW to HIGH transition of this clock may not change the state of the SCL
line if another clock is still within its LOW period. In this way, a synchronized SCL clock is generated
