Closing slave communication

After the last data byte is transferred a Stop Condition is generated by the master. The

interface detects this condition and sets:

EVF and STOPF bits with an interrupt if the ITE bit is set.

Then the interface waits for a read of the SR2 register (see Figure 71 Transfer sequencing

EV4).

Error cases

●

BERR: Detection of a Stop or a Start condition during a byte transfer. In this case, the

EVF and the BERR bits are set with an interrupt if the ITE bit is set.

If it is a Stop then the interface discards the data, released the lines and waits for

another Start condition.

If it is a Start then the interface discards the data and waits for the next slave address

on the bus.

●

AF: Detection of a non-acknowledge bit. In this case, the EVF and AF bits are set with

an interrupt if the ITE bit is set.

The AF bit is cleared by reading the I2CSR2 register. However, if read before the

completion of the transmission, the AF flag will be set again, thus possibly generating a

new interrupt. 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.

Note:

In both cases, SCL line is not held low; however, the SDA line can remain low if the last bits

transmitted are all 0. It is then necessary to release both lines by software. The SCL line is

not held low while AF=1 but by other flags (SB or BTF) that are set at the same time.

How to release the SDA / SCL lines

Set and subsequently clear the STOP bit while BTF is set. The SDA/SCL lines are released

after the transfer of the current byte.

SMBus compatibility

ST7 I2C is compatible with SMBus V1.1 protocol. It supports all SMBus addressing modes,

SMBus bus protocols and CRC-8 packet error checking. Refer to AN1713: SMBus Slave

Driver For ST7 I2C Peripheral.
