Bit 15
SMBALERT
: SMBus alert
In SMBus host mode:
0: no SMBALERT
1: SMBALERT event occurred on pin
In SMBus slave mode:
0: no SMBALERT response address header
1: SMBALERT response address header to SMBALERT LOW received
– Cleared by software writing 0, or by hardware when PE=0.
Bit 14
TIMEOUT
: Timeout or Tlow error
0: No timeout error
1: SCL remained LOW for 25 ms (Timeout)
or
Master cumulative clock low extend time more than 10 ms (Tlow:mext)
or
Slave cumulative clock low extend time more than 25 ms (Tlow:sext)
– When set in slave mode: slave resets the communication and lines are released by
hardware
– When set in master mode: Stop condition sent by hardware
– Cleared by software writing 0, or by hardware when PE=0.
Note: This functionality is available only in SMBus mode.
Bit 13 Reserved, must be kept at reset value
Bit 12
PECERR
: PEC Error in reception
0: no PEC error: receiver returns ACK after PEC reception (if ACK=1)
1: PEC error: receiver returns NACK after PEC reception (whatever ACK)
– Cleared by software writing 0, or by hardware when PE=0.
– Note: When the received CRC is wrong, PECERR is not set in slave mode if the PEC control
bit is not set before the end of the CRC reception. Nevertheless, reading the PEC value
determines whether the received CRC is right or wrong.
Bit 11
OVR
:
Overrun/Underrun
0: No overrun/underrun
1: Overrun or underrun
– Set by hardware in slave mode when NOSTRETCH=1 and:
– In reception when a new byte is received (including ACK pulse) and the DR register has not
been read yet. New received byte is lost.
– In transmission when a new byte should be sent and the DR register has not been written
yet. The same byte is sent twice.
– Cleared by software writing 0, or by hardware when PE=0.
Note: If the DR write occurs very close to SCL rising edge, the sent data is unspecified and a
hold timing error occurs
Bit 10
AF
:
Acknowledge failure
0: No acknowledge failure
1: Acknowledge failure
– Set by hardware when no acknowledge is returned.
– Cleared by software writing 0, or by hardware when PE=0.
