Read Byte
The Read Byte protocol is used to read one byte of data from the registers as shown in
Table 4.3 Read Byte Protocol

Send Byte
The Send Byte protocol is used to set the internal address register pointer to the correct address
location. No data is transferred during the Send Byte protocol as shown in
Table 4.4 Send Byte Protocol

4.5
Receive Byte
The Receive Byte protocol is used to read data from a register when the internal register address
pointer is known to be at the right location (e.g. set via Send Byte). This is used for consecutive reads
of the same register as shown in
Table 4.5 Receive Byte Protocol

4.6
Alert Response Address
The ALERT# output can be used as a processor interrupt or as an SMBus Alert when configured to
operate as an interrupt.
When it detects that the ALERT# pin is asserted, the host will send the Alert Response Address (ARA)
to the general address of 0001_100xb. All devices with active interrupts will respond with their client
address as shown in
Table 4.6 Alert Response Address Protocol
