8.4 SSP I2C Operation

The SSP module in I2C mode fully implements all slave

functions, except general call support, and provides

interrupts on start and stop bits in hardware to facilitate

firmware implementations of the master functions. The

SSP module implements the standard mode specifica-

tions as well as 7-bit and 10-bit addressing.

Two pins are used for data transfer. These are the RC3/

SCK/SCL pin, which is the clock (SCL), and the RC4/

SDI/SDA pin, which is the data (SDA). The user must

configure these pins as inputs or outputs through the

TRISC<4:3> bits.

The SSP module functions are enabled by setting SSP

Enable bit SSPEN (SSPCON<5>).

(SSPSTAT reg)

The SSP module has five registers for I2C operation.

These are the:

• SSP Control Register (SSPCON)

• SSP Status Register (SSPSTAT)

• Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer (SSPBUF)

• SSP Shift Register (SSPSR) - Not directly acces-

sible

• SSP Address Register (SSPADD)

PIC16C72 Series

The SSPCON register allows control of the I2C opera-

tion. Four mode selection bits (SSPCON<3:0>) allow

one of the following I2C modes to be selected:

• I2C Slave mode (7-bit address)

• I2C Slave mode (10-bit address)

• I2C Slave mode (7-bit address), with start and

stop bit interrupts enabled

• I2C Slave mode (10-bit address), with start and

stop bit interrupts enabled

• I2C Firmware controlled master operation, slave

is idle

Selection of any I2C mode, with the SSPEN bit set,

forces the SCL and SDA pins to be open drain, pro-

vided these pins are programmed to inputs by setting

the appropriate TRISC bits.

Additional information on SSP I2C operation may be

found in the PICmicro™ Mid-Range MCU Reference

Manual, DS33023.

8.4.1 SLAVE MODE

In slave mode, the SCL and SDA pins must be config-

ured as inputs (TRISC<4:3> set). The SSP module will

override the input state with the output data when

required (slave-transmitter).

When an address is matched or the data transfer after

an address match is received, the hardware automati-

cally will generate the acknowledge (ACK) pulse, and

then load the SSPBUF register with the received value

currently in the SSPSR register.

There are certain conditions that will cause the SSP

module not to give this ACK pulse. These are if either

(or both):

a) The buffer full bit BF (SSPSTAT<0>) was set

before the transfer was received.

b) The overflow bit SSPOV (SSPCON<6>) was set

before the transfer was received.

In this case, the SSPSR register value is not loaded

into the SSPBUF, but bit SSPIF (PIR1<3>) is set.

Table 8-3 shows what happens when a data transfer

byte is received, given the status of bits BF and

SSPOV. The shaded cells show the condition where

user software did not properly clear the overflow condi-

tion. Flag bit BF is cleared by reading the SSPBUF reg-

ister while bit SSPOV is cleared through software.

The SCL clock input must have a minimum high and

low for proper operation. The high and low times of the

I2C specification as well as the requirement of the SSP

module is shown in timing parameter #100 and param-

eter #101.
