Inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface

The peripheral input clock frequency must be at least:

•

1 MHz in Standard mode

•

4 MHz in Fast mode

SCL master clock generation

The CCR bits are used to generate the high and low level of the SCL clock, starting from the

generation of the rising and falling edge (respectively). As a slave may stretch the SCL line,

the peripheral checks the SCL input from the bus at the end of the time programmed in

TRISE bits after the rising edge generation.

•

If the SCL line is low, it means that a slave is stretching the bus, and the high level

counter stops until the SCL line is detected high. This allows to guarantee the minimum

HIGH period of the SCL clock parameter.

•

If the SCL line is high, the high level counter keeps on counting.

Indeed, the feedback loop from the SCL rising edge generation by the peripheral to the SCL

rising edge detection by the peripheral takes time even if no slave stretches the clock. This

loopback duration is linked to SCL rising time (impacting SCL VIH input detection), plus

delay due to the analog noise filter present on SCL input path, plus delay due to internal

SCL input synchronization with I2C Peripheral clock. The maximum time used by the

feedback loop is programmed in TRISE bits, so that the SCL frequency remains stable

whatever the SCL rising time.

Start condition

Setting the START bit causes the interface to generate a Start condition and to switch to

Master mode (MSL bit set) when the BUSY bit is cleared.

Note:

In master mode, setting the START bit causes the interface to generate a Re-Start condition

at the end of the current byte transfer.

Once the Start condition is sent:

•

The SB bit is set by hardware and an interrupt is generated if the ITEVTEN bit is set.

Then the master waits for a read of the SR1 register followed by a write in the DR register

with the Slave address (Figure 69 & Figure 70).
