PIC24FJ16MC101/102 AND PIC24FJ32MC101/102/104
17.0 INTER-INTEGRATED CIRCUIT™
(I²C™)
Note 1: This data sheet summarizes the features
of the PIC24FJ16MC101/102 and
PIC24FJ32MC101/102/104 family of
devices. It is not intended to be a
comprehensive reference source. To
complement the information in this data
sheet, refer to Section 24. “Inter-Inte-
grated Circuit™ (I²C™)” (DS39702) in
the “PIC24F Family Reference Manual”,
which is available from the Microchip web
site (www.microchip.com).
2: It is important to note that the
specifications in Section 26.0 “Electri-
cal Characteristics” of this data sheet,
supercede any specifications that may be
provided in PIC24F Family Reference
Manual sections.
3: Some registers and associated bits
described in this section may not be
available on all devices. Refer to
Section 4.0 “Memory Organization” in
this data sheet for device-specific register
and bit information.
The Inter-Integrated Circuit™ (I²C™) module provides
complete hardware support for both Slave and Multi-
Master modes of the I²C serial communication
standard, with a 16-bit interface.
The I²C module has a 2-pin interface:
• The SCLx pin is clock
• The SDAx pin is data
The I²C module offers the following key features:
• I²C interface supporting both Master and Slave
modes of operation.
• I²C Slave mode supports 7-bit and 10-bit addressing
• I²C Master mode supports 7-bit and 10-bit addressing
• I²C port allows bidirectional transfers between
master and slaves
• Serial clock synchronization for I²C port can be
used as a handshake mechanism to suspend and
resume serial transfer (SCLREL control)
• I²C supports multi-master operation, detects bus
collision and arbitrates accordingly
17.1 Operating Modes
The hardware fully implements all the master and slave
functions of the I²C Standard and Fast mode
specifications, as well as 7-bit and 10-bit addressing.
The I²C module can operate either as a slave or a
master on an I²C bus.
The following types of I²C operation are supported:
• I²C slave operation with 7-bit addressing
• I²C slave operation with 10-bit addressing
• I²C master operation with 7-bit or 10-bit addressing
For details about the communication sequence in each
of these modes, refer to the Microchip web site
(www.microchip.com) for the latest “PIC24F Family
Reference Manual” sections.
17.2 I²C Registers
I2CxCON and I2CxSTAT are control and status
registers, respectively. The I2CxCON register is
readable and writable. The lower six bits of I2CxSTAT
are read-only. The remaining bits of the I2CSTAT are
read/write:
• I2CxRSR is the shift register used for shifting data
• I2CxRCV is the receive buffer and the register to
which data bytes are written, or from which data
bytes are read
• I2CxTRN is the transmit register to which bytes
are written during a transmit operation
• I2CxADD register holds the slave address
• ADD10 status bit indicates 10-bit Address mode
• I2CxBRG acts as the Baud Rate Generator (BRG)
reload value
In receive operations, I2CxRSR and I2CxRCV together
form a double-buffered receiver. When I2CxRSR
receives a complete byte, it is transferred to I2CxRCV,
and an interrupt pulse is generated.
