PIC16F631/677/685/687/689/690
An SSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. Flag bit SSPIF must be cleared in software, and
the SSPSTAT register is used to determine the status
of the byte. Flag bit SSPIF is set on the falling edge of
the ninth clock pulse.
13.12.4 TRANSMISSION
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the
SSPSTAT register is set. The received address is
loaded into the SSPBUF register. The ACK pulse will
be sent on the ninth bit, and pin RB6/SCK/SCL is held
low. The transmit data must be loaded into the
SSPBUF register, which also loads the SSPSR
register. Then, pin RB6/SCK/SCL should be enabled
by setting bit CKP (SSPCON<4>). The master must
monitor the SCL pin prior to asserting another clock
pulse. The slave devices may be holding off the master
by stretching the clock. The eight data bits are shifted
out on the falling edge of the SCL input. This ensures
that the SDA signal is valid during the SCL high time
(Figure 13-10).
As a slave-transmitter, the ACK pulse from the master
receiver is latched on the rising edge of the ninth SCL
input pulse. If the SDA line was high (not ACK), then
the data transfer is complete. When the ACK is latched
by the slave, the slave logic is reset (resets SSPSTAT
register) and the slave then monitors for another
occurrence of the Start bit. If the SDA line was low
(ACK), the transmit data must be loaded into the
SSPBUF register, which also loads the SSPSR
register. Then pin RB6/SCK/SCL should be enabled by
setting bit CKP.
