Abstract:
1. An integrated circuit for controlling a slave device, comprising: a pin; a micro-controller; and an inter integrated circuit (I a transceiver unit coupled to the slave device via the pin, transferring serial data that conforms to I an interface unit coupled between the transceiver unit and the micro-controller, comprising: a start control register, providing a first start signal to the slave device via the transceiver unit when the start control register is programmed by the micro-controller; and a stop control register, providing a stop signal to the slave device via the transceiver unit when the stop control register is programmed by the micro-controller, wherein the start control register provides a second start signal between the first start signal and the stop signal to the slave device via the transceiver unit when the start control register is programmed by the micro-controller, wherein the micro-controller programs the stop control register according to an interrupt signal from the interface unit.
