SIMPLIFIED SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM OF EACH P-PORT INPUT/OUTPUT

the SDA I/O while the SCL input is high. After the start condition, the device address byte is sent,

most-significant bit (MSB) first, including the data direction bit (R/W). This device does not respond to the

general call address. After receiving the valid address byte, this device responds with an acknowledge, a low on

the SDA I/O during the high of the acknowledge-related clock pulse. The address inputs (A0–A2) of the slave

device must not be changed between the start and the stop conditions.

The data byte follows the address acknowledge. If the R/W bit is high, the data from this device are the values

read from the P port. If the R/W bit is low, the data are from the master, to be output to the P port. The data byte

is followed by an acknowledge sent from this device. If other data bytes are sent from the master, following the

acknowledge, they are ignored by this device. Data are output only if complete bytes are received and

clock cycle for the acknowledge.

A stop condition, which is a low-to-high transition on the SDA I/O while the SCL input is high, is sent by the

master.
