18.3.2 MASTER MODE
Master mode of operation is supported in firmware
using interrupt generation on the detection of the Start
and Stop conditions. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits are
cleared from a Reset or when the SSP module is
disabled. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits will toggle
based on the Start and Stop conditions. Control of the
I2C bus may be taken when the P bit is set, or the bus
is Idle and both the S and P bits are clear.
In Master mode, the SCL and SDA lines are manipu-
lated by clearing the corresponding TRISC<5:4> or
TRISD<3:2> bits. The output level is always low, irre-
spective of the value(s) in PORTC<5:4> or
PORTD<3:2>. So when transmitting data, a '1' data bit
must have the TRISC<4> bit set (input) and a '0' data
bit must have the TRISC<4> bit cleared (output). The
same scenario is true for the SCL line with the
TRISC<4> or TRISD<2> bit. Pull-up resistors must be
provided externally to the SCL and SDA pins for proper
operation of the I2C module.
The following events will cause SSP interrupt flag bit,
SSPIF, to be set (SSP Interrupt will occur if enabled):
• Start condition
• Stop condition
• Data transfer byte transmitted/received
Master mode of operation can be done with either the
Slave mode Idle (SSPM3:SSPM0 = 1011), or with the
Slave active. When both Master and Slave modes are
enabled, the software needs to differentiate the
source(s) of the interrupt.
18.3.3 MULTI-MASTER MODE
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of the Start and Stop conditions, allows the
determination of when the bus is free. The Stop (P) and
Start (S) bits are cleared from a Reset or when the SSP
module is disabled. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits will
toggle based on the Start and Stop conditions. Control
of the I2C bus may be taken when bit P (SSPSTAT<4>)
is set, or the bus is Idle and both the S and P bits clear.
When the bus is busy, enabling the SSP interrupt will
generate the interrupt when the Stop condition occurs.
In Multi-Master operation, the SDA line must be moni-
tored to see if the signal level is the expected output
level. This check only needs to be done when a high
level is output. If a high level is expected and a low level
is present, the device needs to release the SDA and
SCL lines (set TRISC<5:4> or TRISD<3:2> ). There are
two stages where this arbitration can be lost, these are:
• Address Transfer
• Data Transfer
When the slave logic is enabled, the slave continues to
receive. If arbitration was lost during the address trans-
fer stage, communication to the device may be in
progress. If addressed, an ACK pulse will be gener-
ated. If arbitration was lost during the data transfer
stage, the device will need to retransfer the data at a
later time.

x = unknown, u = unchanged, – = unimplemented locations read as ‘0’. Shaded cells are not used by SSP
module in I2C mode.
PSPIF and PSPIE are reserved on the PIC16F73/76; always maintain these bits clear.
Maintain these bits clear in I2C mode.
Depending upon the setting of SSPMX in CONFIG3H, these pins are multiplexed to PORTC or PORTD.
