Inter-integrated circuit (I

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 ().
Slave address transmission
Then the slave address is sent to the SDA line via the internal shift register.
● In 10-bit addressing mode, sending the header sequence causes the following event:
– The ADD10 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 second address byte (see Figure 104 & Figure 105 Transfer
sequencing EV9).
The ADDR 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 read in the SR3
register (see Figure 104 & Figure 105 Transfer sequencing EV6).
● In 7-bit addressing mode, one address byte is sent.
As soon as the address byte is sent,
– The ADDR 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 read in the SR3
register (see Figure 104 & Figure 105 Transfer sequencing EV6).
The master can decide to enter Transmitter or Receiver mode depending on the LSB of
the slave address sent.
● In 7-bit addressing mode,
– To enter Transmitter mode, a master sends the slave address with LSB reset.
– To enter Receiver mode, a master sends the slave address with LSB set.
● In 10-bit addressing mode,
– To enter Transmitter mode, a master sends the header (11110xx0) and then the
slave address, (where xx denotes the two most significant bits of the address).
– To enter Receiver mode, a master sends the header (11110xx0) and then the
slave address. Then it should send a repeated Start condition followed by the
header (11110xx1), (where xx denotes the two most significant bits of the
address).
The TRA bit indicates whether the master is in Receiver or Transmitter mode.
