Hello,
I have observed an intermittent issue when reading axis registers 0x00-0x06 from MMA8653FC via I2C. The issue is somewhat difficult to reproduce reliably, so I'd like to check if a similar problem has been observed by others (it might be a known issue).
Within the system, a Kinetis K02 MCU reads the accelerometer registers 0x00-0x06 at 4 second intervals. The I2C bus is set up at 100kHz. On the same bus, reads and writes are also issued
to an FRAM memory device at non-regular intervals.
The I2C read/write transactions issued to the accelerometer are as follows:
Initialisation only:
I2C Write: Register address 0x2A (CTRL_REG1)
I2C Write: Data 0xA1 (ACC_CONTROL_REGISTER_ACTIVE | ACC_CONTROL_REGISTER_DATA_RATE_50Hz | ACC_CONTROL_REGISTER_SLEEP_RATE_6_25Hz)]
[Note: F_READ == 0)
Every 4 seconds:
I2C Write: Register address 0x00 (STATUS)
I2C Read: 7 bytes (registers 0x00 - 0x06)
A logic trace for a "good" regular read transaction is attached.
The 7 bytes read back to software buffer for a "good" read would be:
A B C D E F G
However, intermittently it is observed that data read back is of the form:
D E F G A B C
This is consistent with 7 bytes requested from starting address 0x03 (allowing for the auto-increment wraparound behaviour when F_READ == 0). Once this state is entered, it remains so until a system power cycle.
Has similar behaviour been observed by others? Could it arise from any known issues/features with the accelerometer's auto-increment behaviour or internal address pointer?
