Clock Synchronization for Handshake
The Clock synchronizing mechanism can function as a handshake, enabling receivers to
cope with fast data transfers, on either a byte or bit level. The byte level allows a device to
receive a byte of data at a fast rate, but allows the device more time to store the received
byte or to prepare another byte for transmission. Slaves hold the SCL line Low after recep-
tion and acknowledge the byte, forcing the master into a wait state until the slave is ready
for the next byte transfer in a handshake procedure.
Operating Modes
Master Transmit
In MASTER TRANSMIT mode, the I2C transmits a number of bytes to a slave receiver.
Enter MASTER TRANSMIT mode by setting the STA bit in the I2C_CTL register to 1.
The I2C then tests the I2C bus and transmits a START condition when the bus is free.
When a START condition is transmitted, the IFLG bit is 1 and the status code in the
I2C_SR register is 08h. Before this interrupt is serviced, the I2C_DR register must be
loaded with either a 7-bit slave address or the first part of a 10-bit slave address, with the
lsb cleared to 0 to specify TRANSMIT mode. The IFLG bit should now be cleared to 0 to
prompt the transfer to continue.
After the 7-bit slave address (or the first part of a 10-bit address) plus the Write bit are
transmitted, the IFLG is set again. A number of status codes are possible in the I2C_SR
register. See Table 75.
