5.2.1 Start Condition

A Start condition occurs when there is a high-to-low transition on the SDA pin while the SCL pin is at a stable logic ‘1’ state and will bring the device out of Standby mode. The master uses a Start condition to initiate any data transfer sequence; therefore, every command must begin with a Start condition. The device will continuously monitor the SDA and SCL pins for a Start condition but will not respond unless one is detected. Refer to Figure 5-1 for more details.
