Inter-integrated circuit (I

C) interface RM0008
586/690
23.3.3 I
2
C master mode
In Master mode, the I
2
C interface initiates a data transfer and generates the clock signal. A
serial data transfer always begins with a Start condition and ends with a Stop condition.
Master mode is selected as soon as the Start condition is generated on the bus with a
START bit.
The following is the required sequence in master mode.
● Program the peripheral input clock in I2C_CR2 Register in order to generate correct
timings
● Configure the clock control registers
● Configure the rise time register
● Program the I2C_CR1 register to enable the peripheral
● Set the START bit in the I2C_CR1 register to generate a Start condition
The peripheral input clock frequency must be at least:
● 2 MHz in Standard mode
● 4 MHz in Fast mode
Start condition
Setting the START bit causes the interface to generate a Start condition and to switch to
Master mode (M/SL bit set) when the BUSY bit is cleared.
Note: In master mode, setting the START bit causes the interface to generate a ReStart 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 ITEVFEN 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 (see Figure 234 & Figure 235 Transfer sequencing EV5).
