7-bit address data transfers follow the format shown in Figure 19-6. After the START condition, a Target address is transmitted. This address is 7-bits long followed by an eighth bit, which is a data direction bit (DIR bit in the CSA register). If the DIR bit is clear, it indicates a transmit operation (send), and if it is set, it indicates a request for data (receive). A data transfer is always terminated by a STOP condition generated by the master; however, a Controller can initiate communications with another device on the bus by generating a repeated START condition and addressing another Target without first generating a STOP condition. Various combinations of receive/transmit formats are then possible within a single transfer.
Complete data transfer with a 7-Bit address, DIR (R/W) Bit in first byte and the ninth bit is the acknowledge bit.
