Chapter 13: LPC13xx I2C-bus controller
mode. After the address and direction bit have been received, the SI bit is set and a valid
status code can be read from the Status register (I2STAT). Refer to
for the
status codes and actions.
13.9.4 Slave Transmitter mode
The first byte is received and handled as in the slave receiver mode. However, in this
mode, the direction bit will be 1, indicating a read operation. Serial data is transmitted via
SDA while the serial clock is input through SCL. START and STOP conditions are
recognized as the beginning and end of a serial transfer. In a given application, I
2
C may
operate as a master and as a slave. In the slave mode, the I
2
C hardware looks for its own
slave address and the General Call address. If one of these addresses is detected, an
interrupt is requested. When the microcontrollers wishes to become the bus master, the
hardware waits until the bus is free before the master mode is entered so that a possible
slave action is not interrupted. If bus arbitration is lost in the master mode, the I
2
C
interface switches to the slave mode immediately and can detect its own slave address in
the same serial transfer.

C-bus interface is implemented, and the following text
describes the individual blocks.
