8.5.1 I²C-Compatible Interface

The I²C-compatible synchronous serial interface provides access to the programmable functions and registers on the device. This protocol uses a two-wire interface for bidirectional communications between the devices connected to the bus. The two interface lines are the Serial Data Line (SDA), and the Serial Clock Line (SCL). Every device on the bus is assigned a unique address and acts as either a Master or a Slave depending on whether it generates or receives the serial clock SCL. The SCL and SDA lines should each have a pullup resistor placed somewhere on the line and remain HIGH even when the bus is idle. The LP8758 supports standard mode (100 kHz), fast mode (400 kHz), fast mode plus (1 MHz), and high-speed mode (3.4 MHz).
