Inter-Integrated Circuit (I
2
C) Interface
19.1 Introduction
The I
2
C modules support the following features:
•
Devices on the I
2
C bus can be designated as either a master or a slave.
–
Supports both transmitting and receiving data as either a master or a slave
–
Supports simultaneous master and slave operation
•
Four I
2
C modes:
–
Master transmit
–
Master receive
–
Slave transmit
–
Slave receive
•
Two 8-entry FIFOs for receive and transmit data
–
FIFOs can be independently assigned to master or slave
•
Four transmission speeds:
–
Standard (100 kbps)
–
Fast mode (400 kbps)
–
Fast-mode plus (1 Mbps)
–
High-speed mode (3.33 Mbps)
•
Glitch suppression
•
SMBus support through software
–
Clock low time-out interrupt
–
Dual slave address capability
–
Quick command capability
•
Master and slave interrupt generation
–
Master generates interrupts when a transmit or receive operation completes (or aborts because of
an error)
–
Slave generates interrupts when data has been transferred or requested by a master or when a
START or STOP condition is detected
•
Master with arbitration and clock synchronization, multiple-master support, and 7-bit addressing mode
•
Efficient transfers using a Micro Direct Memory Access Controller (µDMA)
–
Separate channels for transmit and receive
–
Ability to execute single data transfers or burst data transfers using the RX and TX FIFOs in the I

C
