Devices on the bus have 7-bit or 10-bit addresses, which is
determined by the device (see the datasheet).
Every device monitors the bus and waits for the master to initiate
a transaction.
Each transaction starts with the master sending the target device address
and direction bit and the device is acknowledging each byte
with a direction bit and the device acknowledges each byte
received if its address matched.
Depending on the device, more bytes must be transmitted after the
.IR device-address .
For example, to encode a register number an memory offset.
