C-bus Control Mode

The AK4493 supports the fast-mode I
2
C-bus (max: 400kHz, Ver. 1.0).
(2)-1. WRITE Operation
shows the data transfer sequence for the I
2
C-bus mode. All commands are preceded by a
START condition. A HIGH to LOW transition on the SDA line while SCL is HIGH indicates a START
condition (
). After the START condition, a slave address is sent. This address is 7 bits long
followed by the eighth bit that is a data direction bit (R/W). The most significant five bits of the slave
address are fixed as “00100”. The next bits are CAD1 and CAD0 (device address bits). This bit identifies
the specific device on the bus. The hard-wired input pin (CAD1 pin, CAD0 pin) sets these device address
bits (
). If the slave address matches that of the AK4493, the AK4493 generates an acknowledge
and the operation is executed. The master must generate the acknowledge-related clock pulse and
release the SDA line (HIGH) during the acknowledge clock pulse (
). A R/W bit value of “1”
indicates that the read operation is to be executed, and “0” indicates that the write operation is to be
executed.
The second byte consists of the control register address of the AK4493 and the format is MSB first. The
most significant three bits are fixed as
“000” (
). The data after the second byte contains control
data. The format is MSB first, 8bits (
). The AK4493 generates an acknowledge after each byte is
received. Data transfer is always terminated by a STOP condition generated by the master. A LOW to
HIGH transition on the SDA line while SCL is HIGH defines a STOP condition (
The AK4493 can perform more than one byte write operation per sequence. After receipt of the third byte
the AK4493 generates an acknowledge and awaits the next data. The master can transmit more than one
byte instead of terminating the write cycle after the first data byte is transferred. After receiving each data
packet the internal address counter is incremented by one, and the next data is automatically taken into
the next address. If the address exceeds
“15H” prior to generating a stop condition, the address counter
will “roll over” to “00H” and the previous data will be overwritten.
The data on the SDA line must remain stable during the HIGH period of the clock. HIGH or LOW state of
the data line can only be changed when the clock signal on the SCL line is LOW (
) except for the
START and STOP conditions.
