Functional Description
Each I²C module is comprised of both master and slave functions. For proper operation, the SDA
and SCL pins must be configured as open-drain signals. A typical I²C bus configuration is shown
in Figure 15-2.
See “Inter-Integrated Circuit (I²C) Interface” on page 1067 for I²C timing diagrams.

I²C Bus Functional Overview
The I²C bus uses only two signals: SDA and SCL, named I2CSDA and I2CSCL on Stellaris
microcontrollers. SDA is the bi-directional serial data line and SCL is the bi-directional serial clock
line. The bus is considered idle when both lines are High.
Every transaction on the I²C bus is nine bits long, consisting of eight data bits and a single
acknowledge bit. The number of bytes per transfer (defined as the time between a valid START
and STOP condition, described in “START and STOP Conditions” on page 725) is unrestricted, but
each byte has to be followed by an acknowledge bit, and data must be transferred MSB first. When
a receiver cannot receive another complete byte, it can hold the clock line SCL Low and force the
transmitter into a wait state. The data transfer continues when the receiver releases the clock SCL.
15.3.1.1
START and STOP Conditions
The protocol of the I²C bus defines two states to begin and end a transaction: START and STOP.
A High-to-Low transition on the SDA line while the SCL is High is defined as a START condition,
and a Low-to-High transition on the SDA line while SCL is High is defined as a STOP condition.
The bus is considered busy after a START condition and free after a STOP condition. See Figure
15-3.
