ST92F124/F150/F250 - KNOWN LIMITATIONS

KNOWN LIMITATIONS (Cont’d)

13.3.3 AF bit (acknowledge failure flag) in

transmitter mode (slave and master)

Description

The AF bit is cleared by reading the I2CSR2 reg-

ister. However, if read before the completion of the

transmission, the AF flag will be set again, thus

possibly generating a new interrupt.

Workaround

Software must ensure either that the SCL line is

back at 0 before reading the SR2 register, or be

able to correctly handle a second interrupt during

the 9th pulse of a transmitted byte.

13.3.4 BUSY flag in multimaster mode

Description

The BUSY flag is NOT updated when the interface

is disabled (PE=0). This can have consequences

when operating in Multimaster mode; i.e. a second

active I2C master commencing a transfer with an

unset BUSY bit can cause a conflict resulting in

lost data.

Workaround

Check that the I2C is not busy before enabling the

I2C Multimaster cell.

13.3.5

ARLO

(arbitration

lost)

flag

multimaster mode

Description

In a Multimaster environment, when the interface

is configured in Master Receive mode it does not

perform arbitration during the reception of the Ac-

knowledge Bit. Mishandling of the ARLO bit from

the I2CSR2 register may occur when a second

master simultaneously requests the same data

from the same slave and the I2C master does not

acknowledge the data. The ARLO bit is then left at

0 instead of being set.

Workaround

None

13.3.6 BUSY flag gets cleared when BUS error

occurs

Description

BUSY bit gets cleared when the BUS error occurs

but the bus is actually BUSY (SCL line shows CLK

pulses). Contradictory, M/SL bit is unaffected on

BUS error

Workaround

If a Bus Error occurs, a Stop or a repeated Start

condition should be generated by the Master to re-

synchronize communication, get the transmission

acknowledged and the bus released for further

communication
