ABSTRACT:
A method for addressing cells in devices via an I2C bus is suggested, in which the common addressing scheme is supplemented by a ‘Data Transfer Mode’ byte. The ‘Data Transfer Mode’ byte specifies the number of the address and data bytes to follow the device addressing and thereby allows for orthogonal and scalable addressing of cells inside a device connected to the bus. The method is fully compatible to the existing I2C standard for writing to the slave device. Setting up and terminating a connection between a master and a slave as well as acknowledging receipt of a byte follows the standard.
