After a repeated START condition (state 0x10) the two-wire Serial Interface can access the
same Slave again, or a new Slave without transmitting a STOP condition. Repeated START
enables the Master to switch between Slaves, Master Transmitter mode and Master Receiver
mode without losing control of the bus.
