C0 Control Register 2 (S4D0 Register)
The S4D0 register controls the error communication detection.
If the SCL clock is stopped counting dring data transfer, each device is stopped, staying online. To avoid
the situation, the I
2
C bus interface circuit has a function to detect the time-out when the SCL clock is
stopped in high-level ("H") state for a specific period, and to generate an I

C bus interface interrupt request.
