L6360
FUnctional description
Figure 5. A master transmitter addressing a slave receiver with a 7-bit address (the transfer is not
changed)
Figure 6. A master reads data from the slave immediately after the first byte
On the microcontroller, the interface can operate in the two following modes:
• Master transmitter/receiver
• Idle mode (default state)
The microcontroller interface automatically switches from idle to master receiver after it detects a START
condition and from master receiver to idle after it detects a STOP condition. On the L6360 the interface can
operate in the two following modes:
• Slave transmitter/receiver
• Idle mode (default state)
The interface automatically switches from idle to slave transmitter after it detects a START condition and from
slave transmitter to idle after it detects a STOP condition.

FUnctional description
By default, the I2C microcontroller interface operates in idle; to switch from default idle mode to master mode a
START condition generation is needed. The transfer sequencing is shown in the picture below.
