to the software that the transferred data are wrong. If the ERRIE bit is set into the SPI_CR2
register, an interrupt is generated when the UDR flag in the SPI_SR register goes high. In
this case, it is mandatory to switch off the I
2
S and to restart a data transfer starting from the
left channel.
To switch off the I
2
S, by clearing the I2SE bit, it is mandatory to wait for TXE = 1 and BSY =
0.
Reception sequence
The operating mode is the same as for the transmission mode except for the point 1 (refer to
the procedure described in
Section 28.4.6: I2S slave mode
), where the configuration should
set the master reception mode using the I2SCFG[1:0] bits in the SPI_I2SCFGR register.
Whatever the data length or the channel length, the audio data are received by 16-bit
packets. This means that each time the RX buffer is full, the RXNE flag in the SPI_SR
register is set and an interrupt is generated if the RXNEIE bit is set in the SPI_CR2 register.
Depending on the data length and channel length configuration, the audio value received for
a right or left channel may result from one or two receptions into the RX buffer.
The CHSIDE flag is updated each time data are received to be read from SPI_DR. It is
sensitive to the external WS line managed by the external master component.
Clearing the RXNE bit is performed by reading the SPI_DR register.
For more details about the read operations depending the I
2
S standard mode selected, refer
to
Section 28.4.3: Supported audio protocols
If data are received while the precedent received data have not yet been read, an overrun is
generated and the OVR flag is set. If the bit ERRIE is set in the SPI_CR2 register, an
interrupt is generated to indicate the error.
To switch off the I
2
S in reception mode, I2SE has to be cleared immediately after receiving
the last RXNE = 1.
Note:
The external master components should have the capability of sending/receiving data in 16-
bit or 32-bit packets via an audio channel.
28.4.7 Status
flags
Three status flags are provided for the application to fully monitor the state of the I
2
S bus.
Busy flag (BSY)
The BSY flag is set and cleared by hardware (writing to this flag has no effect). It indicates
the state of the communication layer of the I
2
S.
When BSY is set, it indicates that the I
2
S is busy communicating. There is one exception in
master receive mode (I2SCFG = 11) where the BSY flag is kept low during reception.
The BSY flag is useful to detect the end of a transfer if the software needs to disable the I
2
S.
This avoids corrupting the last transfer. For this, the procedure described below must be
strictly respected.
The BSY flag is set when a transfer starts, except when the I
2
S is in master receiver mode.
