CONDITION TIMING
17.4.8.1
WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Start sequence
is in progress, the WCOL is set and the contents of the
buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).
To initiate a Start condition, the user sets the Start
Condition Enable bit, SEN (SSPCON2<0>). If the SDA
and SCL pins are sampled high, the Baud Rate Gener-
ator is reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0>
and starts its count. If SCL and SDA are both sampled
high when the Baud Rate Generator times out (TBRG),
the SDA pin is driven low. The action of the SDA being
driven low while SCL is high is the Start condition and
causes the S bit (SSPSTAT<3>) to be set. Following
this, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded with the con-
tents of SSPADD<6:0> and resumes its count. When
the Baud Rate Generator times out (TBRG), the SEN bit
(SSPCON2<0>) will be automatically cleared by
hardware, the Baud Rate Generator is suspended,
leaving the SDA line held low and the Start condition is
complete.
Note:
Because queueing of events is not
allowed, writing to the lower 5 bits of
SSPCON2 is disabled until the Start
condition is complete.
Note:
If at the beginning of the Start condition,
the SDA and SCL pins are already sam-
pled low or if during the Start condition, the
SCL line is sampled low before the SDA
line is driven low, a bus collision occurs,
the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLIF, is
set, the Start condition is aborted and the
I2C module is reset into its Idle state.
