A master write occurs as follows:

1. The master core sets I2COM[STR]. The transfer starts when the SDMA channel loads the Tx FIFO

with data and the I2C bus is not busy.

2. The I2C master generates a start condition—a high-to-low transition on SDA while SCL is

high—and the transfer clock SCL pulses for each bit shifted out on SDA. If the master transmitter

detects a multiple-master collision (by sensing a ‘0’ on SDA while sending a ‘1’), transmission

stops and the channel reverts to slave mode. A maskable interrupt is sent to the master’s core so

software can try to retransmit later.

3. The slave acknowledges each byte and writes to its current receive buffer until a new start or stop

condition is detected.

4. After sending each byte, the master monitors the acknowledge indication. If the slave receiver fails

to acknowledge a byte, transmission stops and the master generates a stop condition—a

low-to-high transition on SDA while SCL is high.

I2C Loopback Testing

When in master mode, an I2C controller supports loopback operation for master write requests. The master

I2C controller simply issues a write request directed to its own address (programmed in I2ADD). The

master’s receiver monitors the transmission and reads the transmitted data into its receive buffer. Loopback

operation requires no special register programming.

40.3.3

I2C Master Read (Slave Write)

Before initiating a master read with the MPC8280, prepare a transmit buffer of size n+1 bytes, where n is

the number of bytes to be read from the slave. The first transmit byte should be initialized to the slave

address with R/W = 1. The next n transmit bytes are used strictly for timing and can be left uninitialized.

Configure suitable receive buffers and BDs to receive the slave’s transmission.

If the MPC8280 is the slave target of the read, prepare the I2C transmit buffers and BDs and activate it by

setting I2COM[STR]. Figure 40-5 shows the timing for a master read.

Figure 40-5. I2C Master Read Timing

A master read occurs as follows:

1. Set the master’s I2COM[STR] to initiate the read. The transfer starts when the SDMA channel

loads the transmit FIFO with data and the I2C bus is not busy.

2. The slave detects a start condition on SDA and SCL.

Note: After the nth data byte, the master does not acknowledge the slave.
