I have been looking at the STV0297D/E datasheets specifically to check
this issue (and i don't see any differences than how it is "potentially'
differently from other devices):

HTH


The STV0297D/E datasheet defines the transaction thus ..

I2C Write:

START
SLAVE ADDRESS
R/W
ACK
BASE ADDRESS
ACK
DATA BYTE 1
ACK
DATA BYTE 2
ACK
DATA BYTE 1
ACK
DATA BYTE n
ACK
STOP
(All ACk's by the STV0297E)

I2C Read:

START
SLAVE ADDRESS
R/W
ACK (STV0297)
BASE ADDRESS
ACK (STV0297)
STOP
START
SLAVE ADDRESS
R/W
ACK (STV0297)
DATA BYTE 1
ACK (Host)
DATA BYTE n
ACK (Host)
STOP
