CHAPTER 17 SERIAL INTERFACE CHANNEL 0 (μPD78078 SUBSERIES)337(c) AddressAn address is 8-bit data which the master device outputs to the slave device connected to the bus linein order to select a particular slave device.Figure 17-14. Addresses8-bit data following bus release and command signals is defined as an “address”. In the slave device,this condition is detected by hardware and whether or not 8-bit data matches the own specificationnumber (slave address) is checked by hardware. If the 8-bit data matches the slave address, the slavedevice has been selected. After that, communication with the master device continues until a releaseinstruction is received from the master device.Figure 17-15.
