PIC18F87K22 FAMILY
21.4.3.5 Reception
When the R/W bit of the address byte is clear and an
address match occurs, the R/W bit of the SSPxSTAT
register is cleared. The received address is loaded into
the SSPxBUF register and the SDAx line is held low
(ACK).
When the address byte overflow condition exists, then
the no Acknowledge (ACK) pulse is given. An overflow
condition is defined as either bit, BF (SSPxSTAT<0>),
is set or bit, SSPOV (SSPxCON1<6>), is set.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. The interrupt flag bit, SSPxIF, must be cleared in
software. The SSPxSTAT register is used to determine
the status of the byte.
If SEN is enabled (SSPxCON2<0> = 1), SCLx will be
held low (clock stretch) following each data transfer. The
clock must be released by setting bit, CKP
(SSPxCON1<4>). See Section 21.4.4 “Clock
Stretching” for more details.
21.4.3.6 Transmission
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the
SSPxSTAT register is set. The received address is
loaded into the SSPxBUF register. The ACK pulse will
be sent on the ninth bit and pin SCLx is held low regard-
less of SEN (see Section 21.4.4 “Clock Stretching”
for more details). By stretching the clock, the master
will be unable to assert another clock pulse until the
slave is done preparing the transmit data. The transmit
data must be loaded into the SSPxBUF register which
also loads the SSPxSR register. Then, pin SCLx should
be enabled by setting bit, CKP (SSPxCON1<4>). The
eight data bits are shifted out on the falling edge of the
SCLx input. This ensures that the SDAx signal is valid
during the SCLx high time (Figure 21-10).
The ACK pulse from the master-receiver is latched on
the rising edge of the ninth SCLx input pulse. If the
SDAx line is high (not ACK), then the data transfer is
complete. In this case, when the ACK is latched by the
slave, the slave logic is reset and the slave monitors for
another occurrence of the Start bit. If the SDAx line was
low (ACK), the next transmit data must be loaded into
the SSPxBUF register. Again, pin SCLx must be
enabled by setting bit, CKP.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. The SSPxIF bit must be cleared in software and
the SSPxSTAT register is used to determine the status
of the byte. The SSPxIF bit is set on the falling edge of
the ninth clock pulse.
