PRODUCTION DATA
START and STOP conditions classify the beginning and the end of the I2C session. A START condition is defined as the SDA signal transitioning from HIGH to LOW while SCL line is HIGH. A STOP condition is defined as the SDA transitioning from LOW to HIGH while SCL is HIGH. The I2C master always generates START and STOP conditions. The I2C bus is considered busy after a START condition and free after a STOP condition. During data transmission, the I2C master can generate repeated START conditions. First START and repeated START conditions are equivalent, function-wise.
