APPLICATION NOTE
ST7 ROUTINE FOR I2C SLAVE MODE MANAGEMENT
by Microcontroller Division Application Team
INTRODUCTION
The goal of this application note is to present a useful example of communication using the
I2C peripheral of the ST7. The ST7 microcontroller is used as a slave and can communicate
with any master. This slave, through the I2C interface, receives data bytes from the master im-
plementing error management and returns them. This application has been realized with a
ST72264,7-bit, general call and 10-bit addressing mode.
1 ST7 I2C INTERFACE
The ST7 I2C peripheral allows multi master and slave communication with bus error manage-
ment. In this application, only the single slave mode is used (with error management).
The I2C synchronous communication needs only two signals: SCL (Serial clock line) and SDA
(Serial data line). The corresponding port pins have to be configured as floating inputs (here
PA4 and PA6).
Please refer to the ST7 datasheet for more details.
1.1 COMMUNICATION SPEED
The ST7 I2C peripheral allows to communicate at different speeds. It is able to work in
standard and fast I2C modes up to 400kHz.
It’s the master which imposes the communication speed. For more details, please refer to the
AN971.
1.2 START, STOP CONDITION AND ACKNOWLEDGE GENERATION
The Start and Stop conditions are sent by the master.
An Acknowledge is sent after an address or a data byte is received when the ACK bit is set in
the Control register (CR).
