The numbers in the circles show the status code held in SSCS. At these points, a ser-
vice routine must be executed to continue or complete the serial transfer. These service
routines are not critical since the serial transfer is suspended until the serial interrupt
flag is cleared by software.
When the serial interrupt routine is entered, the status code in SSCS is used to branch
to the appropriate service routine. For each status code, the required software action
and details of the following serial transfer are given in
Table to
Table 70.Master Transmitter Mode
In the master transmitter mode, a number of data bytes are transmitted to a slave
receiver (
Figure 32). Before the master transmitter mode can be entered, SSCON must
be initialised as follows:
CR0, CR1 and CR2 define the internal serial bit rate if external bit rate generator is not
used. SSIE must be set to enable TWI. STA, STO and SI must be cleared.
The master transmitter mode may now be entered by setting the STA bit. The 2-wire
logic will now test the 2-wire bus and generate a START condition as soon as the bus
becomes free. When a START condition is transmitted, the serial interrupt flag (SI bit in
SSCON) is set, and the status code in SSCS will be 08h. This status must be used to
vector to an interrupt routine that loads SSDAT with the slave address and the data
direction bit (SLA+W).
When the slave address and the direction bit have been transmitted and an acknowl-
edgement bit has been received, SI is set again and a number of status code in SSCS
are possible. There are 18h, 20h or 38h for the master mode and also 68h, 78h or B0h if
the slave mode was enabled (AA=logic 1). The appropriate action to be taken for each
of these status code is detailed in
Table . This scheme is repeated until a STOP condi-
tion is transmitted.
SSIE, CR2, CR1 and CR0 are not affected by the serial transfer and are referred to
Table 7 to Table 11. After a repeated START condition (state 10h) the TWI module may
switch to the master receiver mode by loading SSDAT with SLA+R.
Master Receiver Mode
In the master receiver mode, a number of data bytes are received from a slave transmit-
ter
(Figure 33). The transfer is initialized as in the master transmitter mode. When the
START condition has been transmitted, the interrupt routine must load SSDAT with the
7-bit slave address and the data direction bit (SLA+R). The serial interrupt flag SI must
then be cleared before the serial transfer can continue.
