Inter-Integrated Circuit (I²C) Interface
13.3.2
arbitration scheme takes place on the SDA line, while SCL is High. During arbitration, the first of
the competing master devices to place a '1' (High) on SDA while another master transmits a '0'
(Low) will switch off its data output stage and retire until the bus is idle again.
Arbitration can take place over several bits. Its first stage is a comparison of address bits, and if
both masters are trying to address the same device, arbitration continues on to the comparison of
data bits.
Available Speed Modes
The I²C clock rate is determined by the parameters: CLK_PRD, TIMER_PRD, SCL_LP, and SCL_HP.
where:
CLK_PRD is the system clock period
SCL_LP is the low phase of SCL (fixed at 6)
SCL_HP is the high phase of SCL (fixed at 4)
TIMER_PRD is the programmed value in the I²C Master Timer Period (I2CMTPR) register (see
page 460).
The I²C clock period is calculated as follows:
SCL_PERIOD = 2*(1 + TIMER_PRD)*(SCL_LP + SCL_HP)*CLK_PRD
For example:
CLK_PRD = 50 ns
TIMER_PRD = 2
SCL_LP=6
SCL_HP=4
yields a SCL frequency of:
1/T = 333 Khz
Table 13-2 on page 442 gives examples of timer period, system clock, and speed mode (Standard
or Fast).
