AN3895: MPR121 Serial Communication
INTRODUCTION
The MPR121 uses an I
Sensor Controller are detailed in this application note.
SERIAL-ADDRESSING
Data Line (SDA) and a Serial Clock Line (SCL) to achieve bi-directional communication between master(s) and slave(s). A
master (typically a microcontroller) initiates all data transfers to and from the MPR121, and it generates the SCL clock that
synchronizes the data transfer.
The MPR121 SDA line operates as both an input and an open-drain output. A pull-up resistor, typically 4.7 kΩ, is required on
SDA. The MPR121 SCL line operates only as an input. A pull-up resistor, typically 4.7 kΩ, is required on SCL if there are multiple
masters on the 2-wire interface, or if the master in a single-master system has an open-drain SCL output.
Each transmission consists of a START condition
plus R/W bit, a register address byte, one or more data bytes, and finally a STOP condition.
START AND STOP CONDITIONS
Both SCL and SDA remain high when the interface is not busy. A master signals the beginning of a transmission with a
START (S) condition by transitioning SDA from high to low while SCL is high. When the master has finished communicating with
the slave, it issues a STOP (P) condition by transitioning SDA from low to high while SCL is high. The bus is then free for another
transmission.
The MPR121 operates as a slave that sends and receives data through an I
