5.7.3.6Clock and Data Transitions

The I2C_DATA is normally pulled High with an extra device. Data on the I2C_DATA pin changes only during the I2C_CLK Low time periods (see Figure 25). Data changes during I2C_CLK High periods indicate a start or stop condition.

5.7.3.6.1Start Condition

AHigh-to-Low transition of I2C_DATA, with I2C_CLK High, is a start condition that must precede any other command (see Figure 26).

5.7.3.6.2Stop Condition

ALow-to-High transition of the I2C_DATA with I2C_CLK High is a stop condition. After a Read sequence, the stop command places the E²PROM and the optical module in a standby power mode (see Figure 26).
