(ii) Communication procedure
The procedure for communication between master and slave is as follows.
The master starts the communication by transmitting the address of the slave to be communicated
with and selecting the slave (chip selection).
When the slave receives the address, it communicates with the master by returning ACK. (The
slave changes from non-selected to selected status.)
Communication is performed between the slave selected by the processing in
by the transfer of commands and data.
However, as command and data transfers are one-to-one master- slave transfers, other slaves
must be in the non-selected status.
Communication is ended by the slave changing to non-selected status. The slave changes to non-
selected status in the following cases:
• When a RESET command is sent from the master, the selected slave changes to non-selected
status.
• When the master is changed by the CHGMST command, the device which is changed from
master to slave changes to non-selected status.
