3. DEVICE OPERATION
3-1. CLOCK AND DATA TRANSITIONS:
The SDA pin is normally pulled high with an external device. Data on the SDA pin may
change only during SCL low time periods. Data changes during SCL high periods will
indicate a start or stop condition as defined below.
3-2. START CONDITION
A high-to-low transition of SDA with SCL high is a start condition which must precede any
other command
3-3. STOP CONDITION
A low-to-high transition of SDA with SCL high is a stop condition.
3-4. ACKNOWLEDGE
All addresses and data words are serially transmitted to and from the SL030 in 8-bit words.
The SL030 sends a zero to acknowledge that it is not busy,and has received each word.
This happens during the ninth clock cycle.
http://www.stronglink.cn 5

StrongLink SL030
3-5. BUSY STATE
When the SL030 has received command, then don’t acknowledge IIC bus until ends with
the card communication.
3-6. Device Addressing
The SL030 devices require an 8-bit device address word following a start condition to
enable the chip for a read or write operation.
The device address word consists of 7 bits addressing and 1 bit operation select bit.
The first 7 bits are the SL030 addressing, is 1010000
The eighth bit of the device address is the read/write operation select bit. A read operation
is initiated if this bit is high and a write operation is initiated if this bit is low.
3-7. Write Operations
The host device send a command(refer chapter 4) to SL030 via write operation, then SL030
will carry out the order that receive. Finished time according to different order

3-8. Read Operations
The host device passes to read the operation gets the order carries out the result
