31.6.4 I²C MASTER MODE START
CONDITION TIMING
To initiate a Start condition (Figure 31-26), the user
sets the Start Enable bit, SEN bit of the SSPxCON2
register. If the SDA and SCL pins are sampled high,
the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded with the contents
of SSPxADD<7:0> and starts its count. If SCL and
SDA are both sampled high when the Baud Rate Gen-
erator times out (TBRG), the SDA pin is driven low. The
action of the SDA being driven low while SCL is high is
the Start condition and causes the S bit of the
SSPxSTAT1 register to be set. Following this, the
Baud Rate Generator is reloaded with the contents of
SSPxADD<7:0> and resumes its count. When the
Baud Rate Generator times out (TBRG), the SEN bit of
the SSPxCON2 register will be automatically cleared
by hardware; the Baud Rate Generator is suspended,
leaving the SDA line held low and the Start condition is
complete.
FIGURE 31-26: FIRST START BIT TIMING
Note 1: If at the beginning of the Start condition,
the SDA and SCL pins are already
sampled low, or if during the Start condi-
tion, the SCL line is sampled low before
the SDA line is driven low, a bus collision
occurs, the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag,
BCLIF, is set, the Start condition is
aborted and the I²C module is reset into
its Idle state.
2: The Philips I²C specification states that a
bus collision cannot occur on a Start.
