General Description
The I2C component supports I2C slave, master, and multi-master configurations. The I2C bus
is an industry-standard, two-wire hardware interface developed by Philips. The master
initiates all communication on the I2C bus and supplies the clock for all slave devices.
The I2C component supports standard clock speeds up to 1000 kbps. The I2C component is
compatible with other third-party slave and master devices.
Note This version of the component datasheet covers both the fixed hardware I2C block and
the UDB version.
When to Use an I2C Component
The I2C component is an ideal solution when networking multiple devices on a single board or
small system. The system can be designed with a single master and multiple slaves, multiple
masters, or a combination of masters and slaves.

I2C Master/Multi-Master/Slave
Input/Output Connections
This section describes the various input and output connections for the I 2C component. An
asterisk (*) in the list of I/Os indicates that the I/O may be hidden on the symbol under the
conditions listed in the description of that I/O.
sda – In/Out
Serial data (SDA) is the I2C data signal. It is a bidirectional data signal used to transmit or
receive all bus data. The pin connected to sda should be configured as Open-Drain-DrivesLow.
scl – In/Out
Serial clock (SCL) is the master-generated I2C clock. Although the slave never generates the
clock signal, it may hold the clock low, stalling the bus until it is ready to send data or
ACK/NAK1 the latest data or address. The pin connected to scl should be configured as
Open-Drain-Drives-Low.
clock – Input *
The clock input is available when the Implementation parameter is set to UDB. The UDB
version needs a clock to provide 16 times oversampling.

800 kHz

1000 kbps
16 MHz
reset – Input *
The reset input is available when the Implementation parameter is set to UDB. If the reset
pin is held to logic high, the I2C block is held in reset, and communication over I2C stops. This
is a hardware reset only. Software must be independently reset using the I2C_Stop() and
I2C_Start() APIs. The reset input may be left floating with no external connection. If nothing is
connected to the reset line, the component will assign it a constant logic 0.

NAK is an abbreviation for negative acknowledgment or not acknowledged. I2C documents commonly use
NACK while the rest of the networking world uses NAK. They mean the same thing.

Schematic Macro Information
By default, the PSoC Creator Component Catalog contains four schematic macro
implementations for the I2C component. These macros contain already connected and
configured pins and provide a clock source, as needed. The schematic macros use I2C Slave
and Master components, configured for fixed-function and UDB hardware, as shown below.

Component Parameters
Drag an I2C component onto your design and double-click it to open the Configure dialog.
The I2C component provides the following parameters.
Mode
This option determines what modes are supported: slave, master, multi-master, or multimaster-slave.
Mode
Description
Slave
Slave-only operation (default).
Master
Master-only operation.
Multi-Master
Supports more than one master on the bus.
Multi-Master-Slave
Simultaneous slave and multi-master operation.

I2C Master/Multi-Master/Slave
Data Rate
This parameter is used to set the I2C data rate value up to 1000 kbps; the actual speed may
differ based on available clock speed and divider range. The standard data rates2 are 50, 100
(default), 400, and 1000 kbps. If Implementation is set to UDB and the UDB Clock Source
parameter is set to External Clock, the Data Rate parameter is ignored; the 16x input clock
determines the data rate.
Note If Implementation is set to UDB and the Mode parameter is set to Master, MultiMaster, or Multi-Master-Slave, the real master speed for Data Rate above 400 kbps may
differ depending on the BUS_CLK value, rise and fall times of fSCL3, and component
placement.
Slave Address
This is the I2C address that will be recognized by the slave. If slave operation is not selected,
this parameter is ignored. You can select a slave address between 0 and 127 (0x00 and
0x7F); the default is 8. This address is the 7-bit right-justified slave address and does not
include the R/W bit. You can enter the value as decimal or hexadecimal; for hexadecimal
numbers type ‘0x’ before the address. If a 10-bit slave address is required, you must use
software address decoding and provide decode support for the second byte of the 10-bit
address in the ISR.
Implementation
This option determines how the I2C hardware is implemented on the device.
Implementation
Description
Fixed Function
Use the fixed-function block on the device (default).
UDB
Implement the I2C in the UDB array.
Address Decode
This parameter allows you to choose between software and hardware address decoding. For
most applications where the provided APIs are sufficient and only one slave address is
required, hardware address decoding is preferred. In applications where you prefer to modify
the source code to provide detection of multiple slave addresses or 10-bit addresses, you
must use software address detection. Hardware is the default. If hardware address decode is
enabled, the block automatically NAKs addresses that are not its own without CPU
intervention. It automatically interrupts the CPU on correct address reception, and holds the
SCL line low until CPU intervention.
2
Fixed-function implementation supports only standard data rates 50, 100 or 400 kbps for PSoC 5 devices. The
UDB-based implementation should be used instead for different data rates up to 1000 kbps.

Look at Section 7.2.1 Reduced fSCL of The I2C-Bus Specification Rev. 3 from June 2007.

I2C Master/Multi-Master/Slave
Pins
This parameter determines which type of pins to use for SDA and SCL signal connections.
There are three possible values: Any, I2C0, and I2C1. The default is Any.
Any means general-purpose I/O (GPIO or SIO). If Enable wakeup from Sleep Mode is not
required, use Any for SDA and SCL. If Enable wakeup from Sleep Mode is required, use
I2C0 or I2C1 ; using either I2C0 or I2C1 allows you to configure the device for wakeup on I2C
address match.
The I2C component does not check the correct pin assignments.
Value
Pins
Any
Any GPIO or SIO pins through schematic routing
I2C0
SCL = SIO pin P12[4], SDA = SIO pin P12[5]
I2C1
SCL = SIO pin P12[0], SDA = SIO pin P12[1]
Enable wakeup from Sleep Mode
This option allows the system to be awakened from sleep when an address match occurs.
This option is only valid if Address Decode is set to Hardware and the SDA and SCL signals
are connected to SIO pins (I2C0 or I2C1). The option is disabled by default. This option is not
supported by the PSoC 5 devices.
You must enable the possibility for the I2C to wake up the device on slave address match
while switching to the sleep mode. You can do this by calling the I2C_Sleep() API; also refer
to the Wakeup on Hardware Address Match section and to the “Power Management APIs”
section of the System Reference Guide.
UDB Clock Source
This parameter allows you to choose between an internally configured clock and an externally
configured clock for data rate generation. When set to Internal Clock, PSoC Creator
calculates and configures the required clock frequency based on the Data Rate parameter,
taking into account 16 times oversampling. In External Clock mode the component does not
control the data rate but displays the actual data rate based on the user-connected clock
source. If this parameter is set to Internal Clock then the clock input is not visible on the
symbol.
You can enter the desired tolerance values for the internal clock. Clock tolerances are
specified as a percentage. The default range for slave mode is -5% to +50%. The clock can
be fast in this mode. For the remaining modes, the default range is -25% to +5%. Again, the
master can be slow. At the maximum data rate (1000 kbps), the clock should be equal or
slower, but not faster than expected. This could cause unexpected behavior.
Enable UDB Slave Fixed Placement
This parameter allows you to choose a fixed component placement that improves the
component performance over unconstrained placement. If this parameter is set, all of the
component resources are fixed in the top right corner of the device. This parameter controls
the assignment of pins connected to the component. The choice of pin assignment is not a

PSoC® Creator™ Component Datasheet
I2C Master/Multi-Master/Slave
determining factor for component performance. This option is only valid if Mode is set to
Slave and Implementation is set to UDB. This option is disabled by default.
The fixed placement aspect of the component removes the routing variability. It also allows
the fixed placement to continue to operate the same as a non-fixed placed design would in a
fairly empty design.
Clock Selection
When the internal clock configuration is selected, PSoC Creator calculates the needed
frequency and clock source and generates the resource for implementation. Otherwise, you
must supply the clock component and calculate the required clock frequency. That frequency
is 16x the desired data rate available. For example, a 1.6-MHz clock is required for a 100kbps data rate.
The fixed-function block uses BUS_CLK, which is calculated by the customizer divider to
archive the 16/32 oversampling rate (50-kbps oversampling rate is 32, all other rates are 16).
Application Programming Interface
Application Programming Interface (API) routines allow you to configure the component
during run time. The following table lists and describes the interface to each function. The
subsequent sections discuss each function in more detail.
By default, PSoC Creator assigns the instance name “I2C_1” to the first instance of a
component in a given design. You can rename the instance to any unique value that follows
the syntactic rules for identifiers. The instance name becomes the prefix of every global
function name, variable, and constant symbol. For readability, the instance name used in the
following table is “I2C.”
All API functions assume that data direction is from the perspective of the I 2C master. A write
event occurs when data is written from the master to the slave. A read event occurs when the
master reads data from the slave.
Generic Functions
This section includes the functions that are generic to I2C slave or master operation.
Function
Description
I2C_Start()
Initializes and enables the I2C component. The I2C interrupt is enabled, and the
component can respond to I2C traffic.
I2C_Stop()
Stops responding to I2C traffic (disables the I2C interrupt).
I2C_EnableInt()
Enables interrupt, which is required for most I2C operations.
I2C_DisableInt()
Disables interrupt. The I2C_Stop() API does this automatically.
I2C_Sleep()
Stops I2C operation and saves I2C nonretention configuration registers (disables
the interrupt). Prepares wake on address match operation if Wakeup from Sleep
Mode is enabled (disables the I2C interrupt).

PSoC® Creator™ Component Datasheet
I2C Master/Multi-Master/Slave
Function
Description
I2C_Wakeup()
Restores I2C nonretention configuration registers and enables I2C operation
(enables the I2C interrupt).
I2C_Init()
Initializes I2C registers with initial values provided from the customizer.
I2C_Enable()
Activates I2C hardware and begins component operation.
I2C_SaveConfig()
Saves I2C nonretention configuration registers (disables the I2C interrupt).
I2C_RestoreConfig()
Restores I2C nonretention configuration registers saved by I2C_SaveConfig() or
I2C_Sleep() (enables the I2C interrupt).
Global Variables
Knowledge of these variables is not required for normal operations.
Variable
I2C_initVar
Description
I2C_initVar indicates whether the I2C component has been initialized. The
variable is initialized to 0 and set to 1 the first time I2C_Start() is called. This
allows the component to restart without reinitialization after the first call to the
I2C_Start() routine.
If reinitialization of the component is required, then the I2C_Init() function can
be called before the I2C_Start() or I2C_Enable() function.
I2C_state
Current state of the I2C state machine.
I2C_mstrStatus
Current status of the I2C master.
I2C_mstrControl
Controls the master end of the transaction with or without generating a Stop.
I2C_mstrRdBufPtr
Pointer to the master read buffer.
I2C_mstrRdBufSize
Size of the master read buffer.
I2C_mstrRdBufIndex
Current index within the master read buffer.
I2C_mstrWrBufPtr
Pointer to the master write buffer.
I2C_mstrWrBufSize
Size of the master write buffer.
I2C_mstrWrBufIndex
Current index within the master write buffer.
I2C_slStatus
Current status of the I2C slave.
I2C_slAddress
Software address of the I2C slave.
I2C_slRdBufPtr
Pointer to the slave read buffer.
I2C_slRdBufSize

I2C Master/Multi-Master/Slave
Generic Functions
void I2C_Start(void)
Description:
This is the preferred method to begin component operation. I2C_Start() calls the
I2C_Init() function, and then calls the I2C_Enable() function. I2C_Start() must be
called before I2C bus operation.
This API enables the I2C interrupt. Interrupts are required for most I2C operations.
You must set up the I2C Slave buffers before this function call to avoid reading or
writing partial data while the buffers are setting up.
I2C slave behavior is as follows when enabled and buffers are not set up:
I2C Read transfer – Returns 0xFF until the read buffer is set up. Use the
I2C_SlaveInitReadBuf() function to set up the read buffer;
I2C Write transfer – Send NAK because there is no place to store received data. Use
the I2C_SlaveInitWriteBuf() function to set up the read buffer;
Parameters:
None
Return Value:
None
Side Effects:
None
void I2C_Stop(void)
Description:
This function disables I2C hardware and interrupt.
FF implementation (Production PSoC 3 only): Releases the I2C bus if it was locked
up by the device and sets it to the idle state.
UDB implementation: Releases the I2C bus if it was locked up by the device and
sets it to the idle state.
Parameters:
None
Return Value:
None
Side Effects:
None
void I2C_EnableInt(void)
Description:
This function enables the I2C interrupt. Interrupts are required for most operations.
Parameters:
None
Return Value:
None
Side Effects:
None
Document Number: 001-79212 Rev. *A
Page 9 of 48
I2C Master/Multi-Master/Slave
PSoC® Creator™ Component Datasheet
void I2C_DisableInt(void)
Description:
This function disables the I2C interrupt. This function is not normally required
because the I2C_Stop() function disables the interrupt.
Parameters:
None
Return Value:
None
Side Effects:
If the I2C interrupt is disabled while the I2C is still running, it can cause the I2C bus to
lock up.
void I2C_Sleep(void)
Description:
This is the preferred API to prepare the component for sleep. The I2C interrupt is
disabled after function call.
Wakeup on address match enabled: If a transaction intended for this device
executes during this API call, it waits until the current transaction is completed. All
subsequent I2C traffic intended for this device is NAKed until the device is put to
sleep. The address match event wakes up the chip.
Wakeup on address match disabled: This API checks current I2C component
state, saves it, and disables the component by calling I2C_Stop() if it is currently
enabled. I2C_SaveConfig() is then called to save the I2C nonretention configuration
registers.
Call the I2C_Sleep() function before calling the CyPmSleep() or the
CyPmHibernate() function. See the PSoC Creator System Reference Guide for
more information about power-management functions.
Parameters:
None
Return Value:
None
Side Effects:
None
void I2C_Wakeup(void)
Description:
This is the preferred API to restore the component to the state when I2C_Sleep()
was last called. The I2C interrupt is enabled after function call.
Wakeup on address match enabled: This API enables I2C master functionality if it
was enabled before sleep, and disables the I2C backup regulator. The incoming
transaction continues as soon as the I2C interrupt is enabled.
Wakeup on address match disabled: This API restores the I2C nonretention
configuration registers by calling I2C_RestoreConfig(). If the component was
enabled before the I2C_Sleep() function was called, I2C_Wakeup() re-enables it.
Parameters:
None
Return Value:
None
Side Effects:
Calling the I2C_Wakeup() function without first calling the I2C_Sleep() or
I2C_SaveConfig() function can produce unexpected behavior.

I2C Master/Multi-Master/Slave
void I2C_Init(void)
Description:
This function initializes or restores the component according to the customizer
Configure dialog settings. It is not necessary to call I2C_Init() because the
I2C_Start() API calls this function, which is the preferred method to begin
component operation.
Parameters:
None
Return Value:
None
Side Effects:
All registers will be set to values according to the customizer Configure dialog.
void I2C_Enable(void)
Description:
This function activates the hardware and begins component operation. It is not
necessary to call I2C_Enable() because the I2C_Start() API calls this function, which
is the preferred method to begin component operation. If this API is called,
I2C_Start() or I2C_Init() must be called first.
Parameters:
None
Return Value:
None
Side Effects:
None
void I2C_SaveConfig(void)
Description:
This function saves the I2C component nonretention configuration registers and
disables the I2C interrupt
Wakeup on address match enabled: This API disables the I2C master, if it was
enabled before, and enables the I2C backup regulator. If a transaction intended for
this device executes during this API call, it waits until the current transaction is
completed and I2C is ready to go to sleep. All subsequent I2C traffic is NAKed until
the device is put to sleep.
Wakeup on address match disabled: Refer to the main description.
Disabling the I2C interrupt does not depend on whether wakeup on address match is
enabled or disabled.
Parameters:
None
Return Value:
None
Side Effects:
None

I2C Master/Multi-Master/Slave
Functional Description
This component supports I2C slave, master, multi-master, and multi-master-slave
configurations. The following sections provide an overview of how to use the slave, master,
and multi-master components.
This component requires that you enable global interrupts because the I2C hardware is
interrupt driven. Although this component requires interrupts, you do not need to add any
code to the ISR (interrupt service routine). The component services all interrupts (data
transfers) independent of your code. The memory buffers allocated for this interface look like
simple dual-port memory between your application and the I2C master/slave.
Slave Operation
The slave interface consists of two buffers in memory, one for data written to the slave by a
master and a second buffer for data read by a master from the slave. Remember that reads
and writes are from the perspective of the I2C master. The I2C slave read and write buffers
are set by the initialization commands below. These commands do not allocate memory, but
instead copy the array pointer and size to the internal component variables. You must
instantiate the arrays used for the buffers because they are not automatically generated by
the component. You can use the same buffer for both read and write buffers, but you must be
careful to manage the data properly.
void I2C_SlaveInitReadBuf(uint8 * rdBuf, uint8 bufSize)
void I2C_SlaveInitWriteBuf(uint8 * wrBuf, uint8 bufSize)
Using the functions above sets a pointer and byte count for the read and write buffers. The
bufSize for these functions may be less than or equal to the actual array size, but it should
never be larger than the available memory pointed to by the rdBuf or wrBuf pointers.

I2C Master/Multi-Master/Slave
When the I2C_SlaveInitReadBuf() or I2C_SlaveInitWriteBuf() functions are called, the internal
index is set to the first value in the array pointed to by rdBuf and wrBuf, respectively. As the
I2C master reads or writes the bytes, the index is incremented until the offset is one less than
the byteCount. At any time, the number of bytes transferred can be queried by calling either
I2C_SlaveGetReadBufSize() or I2C_SlaveGetWriteBufSize() for the read and write buffers,
respectively. Reading or writing more bytes than are in the buffers causes an overflow error.
The error is set in the slave status byte and can be read with the I2C_SlaveStatus() API.
To reset the index back to the beginning of the array, use the following commands.
void I2C_SlaveClearReadBuf(void)
void I2C_SlaveClearWriteBuf(void)
This resets the index back to zero. The next byte the I2C master reads or writes to is the first
byte in the array. Before using these clear buffer commands, the data in the arrays should be
read or updated.
Multiple reads or writes by the I2C master continue to increment the array index until the clear
buffer commands are used or the array index tries to grow beyond the array size. Figure 2
shows an example where an I2C master has executed two write transactions. The first write
was four bytes and the second write was six bytes. The sixth byte in the second transaction
was NAKed by the slave to signal that the end of the buffer had occurred. If the master tried
to write a seventh byte for the second transaction or started to write more bytes with a third
transaction, each byte would be NAKed and discarded until the buffer is reset.
Using the I2C_SlaveClearWriteBuf() function after the first transaction resets the index back
to zero and causes the second transaction to overwrite the data from the first transaction.
Make sure data is not lost by overflowing the buffer. The data in the buffer should be
processed by the slave before resetting the buffer index.

I2C Master/Multi-Master/Slave
Both the read and write buffers have four status bits to signal transfer complete, transfer in
progress, and buffer overflow. Starting a transfer sets the busy flag. When the transfer is
complete, the transfer complete flag is set and the busy flag is cleared. If a second transfer is
started, both the busy and transfer complete flags can be set at the same time. The following
table shows read and write status flags.

The following code example initializes the write buffer then waits for a transfer to complete.
After the transfer is complete, the data is copied into a working array. In many applications,
the data does not have to be copied to a second location, but instead can be processed in the
original buffer. You could create an almost identical read buffer example by replacing the
write functions and constants with read functions and constants. Processing the data may
mean new data is transferred into the slave buffer instead of out.

I2C Master/Multi-Master/Slave
Master/Multi-Master Operation
Master and multi-master6,7 operation are basically the same, with two exceptions. When
operating in multi-master mode, the program should always check the return status for a Start
transaction. Another multi-master may already be communicating with another slave. In this
case, the program must wait until that communication is completed and the bus becomes
free. The program can wait in two ways: generate a Start transaction until the return status
indicates success, or check the bus state until the bus becomes free and then generate a
Start transaction. The multi-master transaction can be queued if another multi-master
generates the Start faster. In this case, the error condition is not returned and a multi-master
transaction is generated. This transaction is issued as soon as the bus becomes free.
The second difference is that, in multi-master mode, two masters can start at the same time.
If this happens, one of the two masters loses arbitration.


Automatic multi-master transaction: The component automatically checks for this condition
and responds with an error if arbitration was lost. The multi-master transaction is
considered complete (appropriate completion status flags are set) when arbitration is lost.
Manual multi-master transaction: You must check for the return condition after each byte
is transferred.
There are two options when operating the I2C master: manual and automatic. In the automatic
mode, a buffer is created to hold the entire transfer. In the case of a write operation, the buffer
is prefilled with the data to be sent. If data is to be read from the slave, you need to allocate a
buffer at least the size of the packet. To write an array of bytes to a slave in automatic mode,
use the following function.
uint8 I2C_MasterWriteBuf(uint8 slaveAddress, uint8 * xferData, uint8 cnt, uint8
mode)
The slaveAddress variable is a right-justified 7-bit slave address of 0 to 127. The component
API automatically appends the write flag to the LSb of the address byte. The second
parameter, xferData, points to the array of data to transfer. The cnt parameter is the number
of bytes to transfer. The last parameter, mode, determines how the transfer starts and stops.
A transaction can begin with a Restart instead of a Start, or halt before the Stop sequence.
These options allow back-to-back transfers where the last transfer does not send a Stop and
the next transfer issues a Restart instead of a Start.
6
In fixed-function implementation for PSoC 5 in master or multi-master mode, if the software sets the Stop
condition immediately after the Start condition, the module generates the Stop condition. This happens after the
address field (sends 0xFF if data write), and the clock line remains low. To avoid this condition, do not set the
Stop condition immediately after Start; transfer at least a byte and set the Stop condition after NAK or ACK.
7
Fixed-function implementation does not support undefined bus conditions. Avoid these conditions, or use the
UDB-based implementation instead.

I2C Master/Multi-Master/Slave
PSoC® Creator™ Component Datasheet
A read operation is almost identical to the write operation. It uses the same parameters with
the same constants.
uint8 I2C_MasterReadBuf(uint8 slaveAddress, uint8 * xferData, uint8 cnt, uint8
mode);
Both of these functions return status. See the status table for the I2C_MasterStatus() function
return value. Because the read and write transfers complete in the background during the I2C
interrupt code, you can use the I2C_MasterStatus() function to determine when the transfer is
complete. A code snippet that shows a typical write to a slave follows.
I2C_MasterClearStatus(); /* Clear any previous status */
I2C_MasterWriteBuf(0x08, (uint8 *) wrData, 10, I2C_MODE_COMPLETE_XFER);
for(;;)
{
if(0u != (I2C_MasterStatus() & I2C_MSTAT_WR_CMPLT))
{
/* Transfer complete. Check Master status to make sure that transfer
completed without errors. */
break;
}
}
The I2C master can also be operated manually. In this mode, each part of the write
transaction is performed with individual commands.
status = I2C_MasterSendStart(0x08, I2C_WRITE_XFER_MODE);
if(status == I2C_MSTR_NO_ERROR)
/* Check if transfer completed without errors
*/
{
/* Send array of 5 bytes */
for(i=0; i<5; i++)
{
status = I2C_MasterWriteByte(userArray[i]);
if(status != I2C_MSTR_NO_ERROR)
{
break;
}
}
}
I2C_MasterSendStop();
/* Send Stop */
A manual read transaction is similar to the write transaction except the last byte should be
NAKed. The following example shows a typical manual read transaction.
status = I2C_MasterSendStart(0x08, I2C_READ_XFER_MODE);
if(status == I2C_MSTR_NO_ERROR)
/* Check if transfer completed without errors
*/
{
/* Read array of 5 bytes */
for(i=0; i<5; i++)
{
if(i < 4)
{
userArray[i] = I2C_MasterReadByte(I2C_ACK_DATA);
}

{
userArray[i] = I2C_MasterReadByte(I2C_NAK_DATA);
}
}
}
I2C_MasterSendStop();
/* Send Stop */
Multi-Master-Slave Mode Operation
Both multi-master and slave work in this mode. The component can be addressed as a slave,
but firmware can also initiate master mode transfers. In this mode, when a master loses
arbitration during an address byte, the hardware reverts to slave mode and the received byte
generates a slave address interrupt.
For master and slave operation examples, see the Slave Operation and Master/Multi-Master
Operation sections.
Arbitrage on address byte limitations with hardware address match enabled: When a
master loses arbitration during an address byte, the slave address interrupt is generated only
if the slave is addressed. In other cases, the lost arbitrage status is lost by interrupt-based
functions. The software address detect eliminates this possibility, but excludes the Wakeup
on Hardware Address Match feature.
The manual function I2C_MasterSendStart() provides correct status information in the case
just described.
Start of Multi-Master-Slave Transfer
When using multi-master-slave, the slave can be addressed at any time. The multi-master
must take time to prepare to generate a Start condition when the bus is free. During this time,
the slave could be addressed and, if so, the multi-master transaction is lost and the slave
operation proceeds. Be careful not to break the slave operation; the I2C interrupt must be
disabled before generating a Start condition to prevent the transaction from passing the
address stage. This action allows you to abort a multi-master transaction and start a slave
operation correctly. The following cases are possible when disabling the I2C interrupt:



The bus is busy (slave operation is in progress or other traffic is on the bus) before Start
generation. The multi-master does not try to generate a Start condition. Slave operation
proceeds when the I2C interrupt is enabled. The I2C_MasterWriteBuf(),
I2C_MasterReadBuf(), or I2C_MasterSendStart() call returns the status
I2C_MSTR_BUS_BUSY.
The bus is free before Start generation. The multi-master generates a Start condition on
the bus and proceeds with operation when the I2C interrupt is enabled. The
I2C_MasterWriteBuf(), I2C_MasterReadBuf(), or I2C_MasterSendStart() call returns the
status I2C_MSTR_NO_ERROR.
The bus is free before Start generation. The multi-master tries to generate a Start but
another multi-master addresses the slave before this and the bus becomes busy. The
Start condition generation is queued. The slave operation stops at the address stage
because of a disabled I2C interrupt. When the I2C interrupt is enabled, the multi-master

transaction is aborted from the queue and the slave operation proceeds. The
I2C_MasterWriteBuf() or I2C_MasterReadBuf() call does not notice this and returns
I2C_MSTR_NO_ERROR. The I2C_MasterStatus() returns I2C_MSTAT_WR_CMPLT or
I2C_MSTAT_RD_CMPLT with I2C_MSTAT_ERR_XFER (all other error condition bits are
cleared) after the multi-master transaction is aborted. The I2C_MasterSendStart() call
returns the error status I2C_MSTR_ABORT_XFER.

Wakeup on Hardware Address Match
The wakeup from sleep on I2C address match event is possible if the following conditions are
met:



The I2C slave is enabled. Slave or multi-master-slave mode is selected.
I2C Hardware address detection is selected.
The SIO pair is connected to SCL and SDA and the proper pair is selected in the
customizer: I2C0 – SCL P12[4], SDA P12[5] and I2C1 – SCL P12[0], SDA P12[1].
The I2C component customizer controls these conditions, except correct pin assignments.
How it Works
The I2C block responds to transactions on the I2C bus during sleep mode. The I2C wakes the
system if the incoming address matches with the slave address. Once the address matches,
a wakeup interrupt is asserted to wake up the system and SCL is pulled low. The ACK is sent
out after the system wakes up and the CPU determines the next action in the transaction.
Wakeup and Clock Stretching
The I2C slave stretches the clock while exiting sleep mode. All clocks in the system must be
restored before continuing the I2C transactions. The I2C interrupt is disabled before going to
sleep and only enabled after the I2C_Wakeup() function is called. Between wakeup and end
of calling I2C_Wakeup(), the SCL line is pulled low.
Sample code:
…
I2C_Sleep();
CyPmSaveClocks();
/* Go to Sleep and disable I2C interrupt */
/* Save clocks settings */
CyPmSleep(PM_SLEEP_TIME_NONE, PM_SLEEP_SRC_I2C);
CyPmRestoreClocks();
/* Restore clocks */
I2C_Wakeup();
/* Wakeup, enable I2C interrupt and ACK the address,
until end of this call the SCL is pulled low */

Bootloader Protocol Interaction with I2C Communication Component
The bootloader protocol is implemented as command (write transaction) and response (read
transaction).
The time between the host issuing the command and the bootloader sending back the
response is the command execution time. The I2C communication component for the
bootloader is designed in this way: when the host asks for a response, and the bootloader still
executes a command, 0xFF is returned.
Startup: The I2C bootloader communication component expects to receive the command and
does not yet have a valid response. All read transactions from the host return 0xFF. All write
transactions are treated as commands.
Bootloader process: The host is issued the command with a single write transaction and
starts polling for a response. The I2C communication component answers with 0xFF until a
valid response is passed by the bootloader. After receiving 0x01, the host must perform
another read to get the remaining N – 1 bytes of the response. After both reads are complete,
the results are combined to form the full response packet.

Response with Result
Read 1st byte
of response
Host polling for response, but read 0xFF
because there is no valid response yet.
Tcom_ex
Read N-1 bytes
of response
Tresp_set
The host must execute polling by reading one byte; reading more bytes could corrupt the
response. For example, in the case of 0xFF 0x01 0x03 (two bytes of response were read,
instead of one), the next read of the full response returns two invalid bytes, because these
bytes were already read (0x01 and 0x03).
How to avoid polling: You should measure the command execution time (Tcom_ex) plus the
response setup time (Tresp_set) according to the system settings (CPU speed, compiler,
compiler optimization level). The host must ask for the response after this time. The
command execution time changes across the commands, so you should choose the greater
time.
Clock stretching while polling: The I2C communication component requires that interrupts
be enabled while in operation. The Command Program Row (0x39), which writes one row of

How to avoid clock stretching: To avoid clock stretching, measure the Command Program
Row (0x39) execution time (Tcom_ex) according to the system settings (CPU speed,
compiler, compiler optimization level). The host must ask for a response after this time.
External Electrical Connections
As Figure 3 shows, the I2C bus requires external pull-up resistors. The pull-up resistors (RP)
are determined by the supply voltage, clock speed, and bus capacitance. Make the minimum
sink current for any device (master or slave) no less than 3 mA at VOLmax = 0.4 V for the
output stage. This limits the minimum pull-up resistor value for a 5-V system to about 1.5 kΩ.
The maximum value for RP depends upon the bus capacitance and clock speed. For a 5-V
system with a bus capacitance of 150 pF, the pull-up resistors are no larger than 6 kΩ. For
more information about sizing pull-up resistors and other physical bus specifications, see The
I2C-Bus Specification on the NXP web site at www.nxp.com.

Component Changes
This section lists the major changes in the component from the previous version.
Version
Description of Changes
3.10.a
Minor datasheet edit.
3.10
Added support PSoC 5 LP.
Fixed wrong SDA behavior (the line
drives low) after address byte was
received.
3.1.a
3.1
When master generates transaction with slave address
expected to be NAKed, the wrong Stop detection is possible.
The issue only appears in Slave mode with Software Address
Decode and UDB-based implementation.
Documentation change describing how
the effective data rate will vary.
For data rates above 400 kbps, the effective clock rate can
vary.
Documentation change describing the
difference between master and multimaster modes.
When operating in multi-master mode there are special
considerations to take into account to handle correct
interaction with other masters.
Changed the definition from
I2C_SSTAT_RD_CMPT to
I2C_SSTAT_RD_CMPLT
To comply with the master definition of read and write
complete flags. The component supports both definitions, but
the I2C_SSTAT_RD_CMPT and I2C_SSTAT_WR_CMPT
will become obsolete.
Changed the definition from
I2C_SSTAT_WR_CMPT to
I2C_SSTAT_WR_CMPLT
Added the CYREENTRANT keyword to
all APIs when they are included in the
.cyre file.
3.0.a
Reason for Changes / Impact
Not all APIs are truly reentrant. Comments in the component
API source files indicate which functions are not candidates.
This change is required to eliminate compiler warnings for
functions that are not reentrant used in a safe way: protected
from concurrent calls by flags or Critical Sections.
Minor datasheet edits and updates

3.0
2.20
2.10
Description of Changes
I2C Master/Multi-Master/Slave
Reason for Changes / Impact
Changed customizer appearance
More intuitive and easy to use.
Added the UDB clock tolerance setting.
Avoids the appearance of clock warning for many
configurations.
The component in FF implantation with
Enable from Sleep option restores
configuration correctly after exit
hibernate.
Fix component behavior in hibernate mode.
The I2C interrupt is enabled after
I2C_Start() is called.
No errors appear when the user forgets to enable interrupt
after I2C_Start() in slave mode.
Added support of internal clock for UDB
implementation.
Functionality enhancement.
Removed functions
I2C_SlaveGetWriteByte() and
I2C_SlavePutReadByte()
These functions are not usable.
Added bootloader communication
support to UDB-based implementation of
component.
Allows more than one I2C component that supports
bootloading in the design. This can be used with the custom
bootloader feature included with cy_boot v2.21.
Fixed misplaced start condition detection
during transaction due zero data hold
time.
The slave operates correctly with zero data hold time from
the master.
Added multi-master-slave mode
The support of multi-master-slave functionality is added to
component.
Customizer labels and description edits
Improve feel and content of component customizer.
Changed I2C bootloader communication
component behavior to suppress clock
stretching on read.
I2C bootloader communication component holds SCL low
forever if a read command is issued before the start boot
process.
Added characterization data to
datasheet.
Minor datasheet edits and updates
2.0.a
Moved the component into subfolders of
the component catalog
Minor datasheet edits and updates
2.0
Added Sleep/Wakeup and Init/Enable
APIs.
To support low-power modes, as well as to provide common
interfaces to separate control of initialization and enabling of
most components.
Updated the component to support
Production PSoC 3 and above. Updated
the Configure dialog:
New requirement to support the Production PSoC 3 device,
thus a new 2.0 version was created.

Version
Description of Changes
PSoC® Creator™ Component Datasheet
Reason for Changes / Impact
Added configuration of I2C pins
connection port for the wakeup on I2C
address match feature.
The I2C component will be able to wake up the device from
Sleep mode on I2C address match.
Updated the datasheet.
Updated the Parameters and Setup, Clock Selection, and
Resources sections to reflect the UDB Implementation.
Error in sample code has been fixed.
Add Reentrancy support to the
component.
Allows users to make specific APIs reentrant if reentrancy is
desired.
