LP8725 I2C address clarification

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LP8725

Hello all,

Table 1 shows the I2C address of this device based on CONFIG and DEFSEL pins. The four possible 7-bit addresses are:

   0x78;  1111000_

   0x79;  1111001_

   0x7A;  1111010_

   0x7B;  1111011_

      Note: "_" is supposed to represent the R/W bit

These I2C addresses seem to be reserved according to the I2C specification, yet there are Linux drivers so I assume things are working fine. I can not find an evaluation board to buy and verify for myself.

Seems that I2C addresses 11110xx_ are supposed to be ignored by 7-bit I2C slaves; used for 10-bit addressing.

Additionally I2C addresses 11111xx_ are supposed to be reserved for future use.

 

Can someone clarify the I2C addressing?

Is the LP8725 not compliant with I2C Specification wrt slave addressing?

 

Regards,

Steve

    Hi Steve,
    You are correct, LP8725 is not fully compliant with I2C specification. I2C addressing does conflict with 10-bit addressing. If you don't have any 10-bit slaves on the same I2C bus this is not a problem. Also I2C master must support RW operations to this slave address.
