Upon a Stop LTC4151is a read-write slave device and supports SMBus condition, the register address is reset to 00h. If desired, Read Byte, Write Byte, Read Word and Write Word com- the Read Page and Write Page support can be disabled by mands. The device also supports Read Page and Write clearing control register bit G3.
