23.3.8 Packet error checking
A PEC calculator has been implemented to improve the reliability of communication. The
PEC is calculated by using the C(x) = x
8
+ x
2
+ x + 1 CRC-8 polynomial serially on each bit.
• PEC calculation is enabled by setting the ENPEC bit in the I2C_CR1 register. PEC is a
CRC-8 calculated on all message bytes including addresses and R/W bits.
– In transmission: set the PEC transfer bit in the I2C_CR1 register after the TxE
event corresponding to the last byte. The PEC will be transferred after the last
transmitted byte.
– In reception: set the PEC bit in the I2C_CR1 register after the RxNE event
corresponding to the last byte so that the receiver sends a NACK if the next
received byte is not equal to the internally calculated PEC. In case of Master-
Receiver, a NACK must follow the PEC whatever the check result. The PEC must
be set before the ACK of the CRC reception in slave mode. It must be set when
the ACK is set low in master mode.
• A PECERR error flag/interrupt is also available in the I2C_SR1 register.
• If DMA and PEC calculation are both enabled:-
– In transmission: when the I
2
C interface receives an EOT signal from the DMA
controller, it automatically sends a PEC after the last byte.
– In reception: when the I
2
C interface receives an EOT_1 signal from the DMA
controller, it will automatically consider the next byte as a PEC and will check it. A
DMA request is generated after PEC reception.
• To allow intermediate PEC transfers, a control bit is available in the I2C_CR2 register
(LAST bit) to determine if it is really the last DMA transfer or not. If it is the last DMA
request for a master receiver, a NACK is automatically sent after the last received byte.
• PEC calculation is corrupted by an arbitration loss.
