Interrupts
The I²C can generate interrupts when the following conditions are observed:
■ Master transaction completed
■ Master arbitration lost
■ Master transaction error
■ Slave transaction received
■ Slave transaction requested
There is a separate interrupt signal for the I²C master and I²C slave modules. While both modules
can generate interrupts for multiple conditions, only a single interrupt signal is sent to the interrupt
controller.
15.3.3.1
I²C Master Interrupts
The I²C master module generates an interrupt when a transaction completes (either transmit or
receive), when arbitration is lost, or when an error occurs during a transaction. To enable the I²C
master interrupt, software must set the IM bit in the I²C Master Interrupt Mask (I2CMIMR) register.
When an interrupt condition is met, software must check the ERROR and ARBLST bits in the I²C
Master Control/Status (I2CMCS) register to verify that an error didn't occur during the last transaction
and to ensure that arbitration has not been lost. An error condition is asserted if the last transaction
wasn't acknowledged by the slave. If an error is not detected and the master has not lost arbitration,
the application can proceed with the transfer. The interrupt is cleared by writing a 1 to the IC bit in
the I²C Master Interrupt Clear (I2CMICR) register.
If the application doesn't require the use of interrupts, the raw interrupt status is always visible via
the I²C Master Raw Interrupt Status (I2CMRIS) register.
15.3.3.2 I²C Slave Interrupts
The slave module can generate an interrupt when data has been received or requested. This interrupt
is enabled by writing a 1 to the DATAIM bit in the I²C Slave Interrupt Mask (I2CSIMR) register.
Software determines whether the module should write (transmit) or read (receive) data from the I²C
Slave Data (I2CSDR) register, by checking the RREQ and TREQ bits of the I²C Slave Control/Status
(I2CSCSR) register. If the slave module is in receive mode and the first byte of a transfer is received,
the FBR bit is set along with the RREQ bit. The interrupt is cleared by writing a 1 to the DATAIC bit
in the I²C Slave Interrupt Clear (I2CSICR) register.
In addition, the slave module can generate an interrupt when a start and stop condition is detected.
These interrupts are enabled by writing a 1 to the STARTIM and STOPIM bits of the I²C Slave
Interrupt Mask (I2CSIMR) register and cleared by writing a 1 to the STOPIC and STARTIC bits of
the I²C Slave Interrupt Clear (I2CSICR) register.
If the application doesn't require the use of interrupts, the raw interrupt status is always visible via
the I²C Slave Raw Interrupt Status (I2CSRIS) register.
15.3.4
Loopback Operation
The I²C modules can be placed into an internal loopback mode for diagnostic or debug work. This
is accomplished by setting the LPBK bit in the I²C Master Configuration (I2CMCR) register. In
loopback mode, the SDA and SCL signals from the master and slave modules are tied together.
