Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, in the above reading procedure, the timing controller may interrupt the reading of the EEPROM due to the glitch of the reset signal or other factors.
When the timing controller re-reads the EEPROM program, the EEPROM may stop in an uncontrollable state due to the abnormal interruption of the previous reading program, thus causing the timing controller to be unable to read again

Embodiment Construction

[0018] figure 2 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for initializing a memory element is described. The main component (such as the timing controller) accesses the memory component (such as EEPROM) through the two-wire transmission interface. This two-wire transmission interface (such as I 2 C bus) includes two lines of serial clock (serial clock, SCL) and serial data (serial data, SDA). The master element provides the clock cycle to the memory element through the SCL line to synchronize the communication timing with each other. Cooperating with the timing of the SCL line, the main component transmits the start-stop signal, control byte, address data, etc. to the memory component through the SDA line. The memory element also cooperates with the timing of the SCL line, and transmits the confirmation signal, output serial data, etc. to the main element through the SDA line.

[0019] When the master device intends to initialize the memory device, th...

Abstract

The invention provides an initialization method of a memory element, comprising a step of transmitting at least N+1 clock periods to the memory element, wherein N represents the digit of a serial data output by the memory element. One of the clock periods is used for transmitting a first commencement and termination signal to the memory element. The other one of the clock periods is used for transmitting a second commencement and termination signal to the memory element.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a two-wire transmission interface, and in particular to an initialization method of a memory element with a two-wire transmission interface. Background technique [0002] General two-wire transmission interface, such as the bus between integrated circuits (Inter-integrated Circuit Bus, I 2 C Bus) uses two lines of serial clock (serial clock, SCL) and serial data (serial data, SDA) to transmit data. Taking liquid crystal display (LCD) as an example, its timing controller can use I 2 C to access electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory, EEPROM). The timing controller provides SCL to the EEPROM to synchronize the communication timing of each other. The data transmission between the timing controller and the EEPROM only depends on the SDA bus. The timing controller must pass the I 2 C to access the relevant setting data in the EEPROM. [0003] figure 1 is the de...
