Interface Description

The MGC3140 supports an I2C interface in Slave mode. For further information on the I2C interface as

well as a list of the I2C commands, see ”MGC3140 - GestIC Library Interface Description User’s Guide”

(DS40001875).

Transfer Status Line

The MGC3140 requires a dedicated Transfer Status line (TS). The MGC3140 (I2C Slave) uses this line to

inform the host controller (I2C Master) that there is data available which can be transferred. The TS line is

electrically open-drain and requires a pull-up resistor of typically 10 kΩ from the TS line to VDD. The TS

Idle state is high.

The MGC3140 uses an internal I2C message buffer. If after a read operation there are remaining

messages in the buffer, the TS will only go high for a short time period and then be driven low again.
