C-BUS INTERFACE (Hs-MODE)
10.1
Characteristics of the I
2
C-bus (Hs-mode)
The I
2
C-bus Hs-mode is for bidirectional, two-line
communication between different ICs or modules with
speeds up to 3.4 MHz. The only difference between
Hs-mode slave devices and Fast-mode slave devices is
the speed at which they operate, therefore the buffers on
the SLCH and SDAH outputs
(1)
have an open-drain. This
is the same for I
2
C-bus master devices which have an
open-drain SDAH output and a combination of open-drain
pull-down and current source pull-up circuits on the SCLH
output. Only the current source of one master is enabled
at any one time, and only during Hs-mode. Both lines must
be connected to a positive supply via a pull-up resistor.
Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not
busy.

YSTEM CONFIGURATION
Transmitter: the device that sends the data to the bus
Receiver: the device that receives the data from the bus
Master: the device which initiates a transfer, generates
clock signals and terminates a transfer
Slave: the device addressed by a master
Multi-master: more than one master can attempt to
control the bus at the same time without corrupting the
message
Arbitration: procedure to ensure that, if more than one
master simultaneously tries to control the bus, only one
is allowed to do so and the message is not corrupted
Synchronisation: procedure to synchronize the clock
signals of two or more devices.
(1) In Hs-mode, SCL and SDA lines operating at the higher
frequency are referred to as SCLH and SDAH.

IT TRANSFER
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse (see
Fig.26). The data on the SDAH line must remain stable
during the HIGH period of the clock pulse as changes in
the data line at this time will be interpreted as control
signals.
