C interfaces
11.5.4 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.
11.6 I

C implementation and operation
shows how the on-chip I2C-bus interface is implemented, and the following text
describes the individual blocks.
11.6.1 Input filters and output stages
Input signals are synchronized with the internal clock, and spikes shorter than three
clocks are filtered out.
