19.9.1 Master Transmitter mode
In the master transmitter mode, a number of data bytes are transmitted to a slave receiver
(see Figure 93
). Before the master transmitter mode can be entered, I2CON must be
initialized as follows:
The I
2
C rate must also be configured in the I2SCLL and I2SCLH registers. I2EN must be
set to logic 1 to enable the I
2
C block. If the AA bit is reset, the I
2
C block will not
acknowledge its own slave address or the General Call address in the event of another
device becoming master of the bus. In other words, if AA is reset, the I
2
C interface cannot
enter a slave mode. STA, STO, and SI must be reset.
The master transmitter mode may now be entered by setting the STA bit. The I
2
C logic will
now test the I
2
C-bus and generate a START condition as soon as the bus becomes free.
When a START condition is transmitted, the serial interrupt flag (SI) is set, and the status
code in the status register (I2STAT) will be 0x08. This status code is used by the interrupt
service routine to enter the appropriate state service routine that loads I2DAT with the
slave address and the data direction bit (SLA+W). The SI bit in I2CON must then be reset
before the serial transfer can continue.
When the slave address and the direction bit have been transmitted and an
acknowledgment bit has been received, the serial interrupt flag (SI) is set again, and a
number of status codes in I2STAT are possible. There are 0x18, 0x20, or 0x38 for the
master mode and also 0x68, 0x78, or 0xB0 if the slave mode was enabled (AA = logic 1).
The appropriate action to be taken for each of these status codes is detailed in Table 398
.
After a repeated START condition (state 0x10). The I
2
C block may switch to the master
receiver mode by loading I2DAT with SLA+R).
