The following bus protocol has been defined:
4.1.1
DATA TRANSFER
Data transfers are initiated by a Start condition
(START), followed by a 7-bit device address and a
read/write bit. An Acknowledge (ACK) from the slave
confirms the reception of each byte. Each access must
be terminated by a Stop condition (STOP).

This device supports the receive protocol. The register
can be specified using the pointer for the initial read.
Each repeated read or receive begins with a Start
condition and address byte. The MCP9804 retains the
previously selected register. Therefore, it outputs data
from the previously specified register (repeated pointer
specification is not necessary).

4.1.2
MASTER/SLAVE
The bus is controlled by a master device (typically a
microcontroller) that controls the bus access and
generates the Start and Stop conditions. The MCP9804
is a slave device and does not control other devices in
the bus. Both master and slave devices can operate as
either transmitter or receiver. However, the master
device determines which mode is activated.

4.1.3
START/STOP CONDITION
A high-to-low transition of the SDA line (while SCL is
high) is the Start condition. All data transfers must be
preceded by a Start condition from the master. A
low-to-high transition of the SDA line (while SCL is
high) signifies a Stop condition.

Data Valid
SDA must remain stable before SCL
becomes high in order for a data bit to
be considered valid. During normal
data transfers, SDA only changes state
while SCL is low.
