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. It is compatible1 with I2C
Standard-mode, Fast-mode, and Fast-mode Plus devices as defined in the NXP I2C-bus
specification. 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.

The I C peripheral is non-compliant with the NXP I C specification in the following areas: analog glitch filter, I/O
2
VOL/IOL, I/O hysteresis. The I C Block has a digital glitch filter (not available in sleep mode). The Fast-mode
minimum fall-time specification can be met by setting the I/Os to slow speed mode. See the I/O Electrical
Specifications in "Inputs and Outputs" section of device datasheet for details.

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.

Input/Output Connections
This section describes the various input and output connections for the I2C 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-Drives-Low.
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/NAK2
the latest data or address. The pin connected to scl should be configured as Open-Drain-DrivesLow.
2
2
NAK is an abbreviation for negative acknowledgment or not acknowledged. I C documents commonly use NACK
while the rest of the networking world uses NAK. They mean the same thing.

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.

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.
I2C Bus Multiplexing
The following inputs and outputs are only available when the External OE buffer option is
selected (on the Advanced tab). The internal OE buffers are removed and bidirectional scl and
sda terminals are replaced with separate sda_i and scl_i inputs as well as sda_o and scl_o
outputs. This allows internal I2C bus multiplexing.
sda_i – Input *
Serial data input signal used to receive data. The sda_i terminal should be connected to a tristate buffer feedback signal for an SDA bidirectional pin.
scl_i – Input *
Serial clock input clock signal used to receive clocks in slave mode and handle clock
synchronization in master mode. The scl_i terminal should be connected to a tri-state buffer
feedback signal for an SCL bidirectional pin.
sda_o – Output *
Serial data output signal used to transmit data. The sda_o terminal should be connected to a tristate buffer direct input signal for an SDA bidirectional pin.

scl_o – Output *
Serial clock output signal used by a slave or master to hold the clock line low, stalling the bus
until it is ready for operation. The scl_o terminal should be connected to a tri-state buffer direct
input signal for an SCL bidirectional pin.
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.

Drag an I2C component onto your design and double-click it to open the Configure dialog.
Basic Configuration Tab
The I2C component provides the following parameters.
Mode
Use this option to select the I2C mode: slave, master, multi-master, or multi-master-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.

I C Master/Multi-Master/Slave
PSoC Creator™ Component Datasheet
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 rates3 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, Multi-Master,
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 fSCL4, 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 I C in the UDB array.
2
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.
3
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.
4
Refer to the I C-Bus Specification (Rev. 3 from June 2007), section 7.2.1 Reduced fSCL.

I C 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.
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]
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.
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 supported
by the PSoC 3 and PSoC 5LP 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.

PSoC Creator™ Component Datasheet
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 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.
Advanced Configuration Tab
External OE buffer
This parameter allows internal I2C bus multiplexing. The internal OE buffer is removed and
bidirectional scl and sda terminals are replaced with separate inputs (sda_i and scl_i) and
outputs (sda_o and scl_o).

PSoC Creator™ Component Datasheet
I C Master/Multi-Master/Slave
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 100-kbps 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 I2C 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
2
2
I2C_Start()
Initializes and enables the I C component. The I C interrupt is enabled, and the
2
component can respond to I C traffic.
I2C_Stop()
Stops responding to I C traffic (disables the I C interrupt).
I2C_EnableInt()
Enables interrupt, which is required for most I C operations.
I2C_DisableInt()
Disables interrupt. The I2C_Stop() API does this automatically.
I2C_Sleep()
Stops I C operation and saves I C nonretention configuration registers (disables the
interrupt). Prepares wake on address match operation if Wakeup from Sleep Mode is
2
enabled (disables the I C interrupt).
I2C_Wakeup()
Restores I C nonretention configuration registers and enables I C operation (enables the
2
I C interrupt).
I2C_Init()
Initializes I C registers with initial values provided from the customizer.
I2C_Enable()
Activates I C hardware and begins component operation.

2
I2C_SaveConfig()
Saves I C nonretention configuration registers (disables the I C interrupt).
I2C_RestoreConfig()
Restores I C nonretention configuration registers saved by I2C_SaveConfig() or
2
I2C_Sleep() (enables the I C interrupt).
2
Global Variables
Knowledge of these variables is not required for normal operations.
Variable
I2C_initVar
Description
2
I2C_initVar indicates whether the I C 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.
2
I2C_state
Current state of the I C state machine.
I2C_mstrStatus
Current status of the I C 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

I C 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()
2
function, and then calls the I2C_Enable() function. I2C_Start() must be called before I C bus
operation.
2
2
This API enables the I C interrupt. Interrupts are required for most I C operations.
2
You must set up the I C Slave buffers before this function call to avoid reading or writing
partial data while the buffers are setting up.
2
I C slave behavior is as follows when enabled and buffers are not set up:
2
I C Read transfer – Returns 0xFF until the read buffer is set up. Use the
I2C_SlaveInitReadBuf() function to set up the read buffer;
2
I C 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:
2
This function disables I C hardware and interrupt.
2
FF implementation(PSoC 3 and PSoC5 LP): Releases the I C bus if it was locked up by the
device and sets it to the idle state.
2
UDB implementation: Releases the I C 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)
2
Description:
This function enables the I C interrupt. Interrupts are required for most operations.
Parameters:

void I2C_DisableInt(void)
2
Description:
This function disables the I C interrupt. This function is not normally required because the
I2C_Stop() function disables the interrupt.
Parameters:
None
Return Value:
None
Side Effects:
If the I C interrupt is disabled while the I C is still running, it can cause the I C bus to lock
up.

2
2
void I2C_Sleep(void)
Description:
This is the preferred API to prepare the component for sleep.
Wakeup on address match enabled: If a transaction intended for this device executes
2
during this API call, it waits until the current transaction is completed. All subsequent I C
traffic intended for this device is NAKed until the device is put to sleep. The address match
event wakes up the chip.
2
Wakeup on address match disabled: This API checks current I C component state,
saves it, and disables the component by calling I2C_Stop() if it is currently enabled.
2
I2C_SaveConfig() is then called to save the I C 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
2
called. Wakeup on address match enabled: This API enables I C master functionality if it
2
was enabled before sleep, and disables the I C backup regulator. The incoming transaction
2
continues as soon as the regular I C interrupt handler is set.
2
Wakeup on address match disabled: This API restores the I C 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.

I C 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:
2
This function saves the I C component nonretention configuration registers.
2
Wakeup on address match enabled: This API disables the I C master, if it was enabled
2
before, and enables the I C backup regulator. If a transaction intended for this device
2
executes during this API call, it waits until the current transaction is completed and I C is
2
ready to go to sleep. All subsequent I C traffic is NAKed until the device is put to sleep.
Wakeup on address match disabled: Refer to the main description.
Parameters:
None
Return Value:
None

Description of Deviation(s)
The library function memcpy has pointer to void
arguments for the source and destination.
A pointer to a constant array is passed as the
source argument and the constant qualification is
lost.
The memcpy function implementation never
changes the source and is therefore safe to use
with a constant argument.

R
Array indexing shall be the only allowed form
of pointer arithmetic.
The application allocates buffers and sets them up
for the component providing the pointer and size.
The component uses array indexing operations to
access these buffers. The buffer size is checked
before accessing the buffers.
This implementation is safe as long as the correct
buffer size is provided by the application.

A function should be used in preference to a
function-like macro.
Deviations with function-like macros to allow for
more efficient code.
The component incorporates the Fixed Function

flexible way.
This component has the following embedded component: Clock. Refer to the corresponding
component datasheet for information on their MISRA compliance and specific deviations.

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.

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,

I C Master/Multi-Master/Slave
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 ACKed
by the slave because buffer has a room to store byte. 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.

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.

I C Master/Multi-Master/Slave
Master/Multi-Master Operation
Master and multi-master7,8 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 * wrData, 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.
7
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.
8
Fixed-function implementation does not support undefined bus conditions. Avoid these conditions, or use the
UDB-based implementation instead.

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 * rdData, 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(I2C_MSTR_NO_ERROR == status)
/* 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(I2C_MSTR_NO_ERROR == status)
/* Check if transfer completed without errors */
{
/* Read array of 5 bytes */
for(i=0; i<5; i++)
{
if(i < 4)

}
}
}
I2C_MasterSendStop();

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

I C Master/Multi-Master/Slave

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_ERR_ABORT_START_GEN.

if (0u != (I2C_MasterStatus() & I2C_MSTAT_ERR_XFER))
{
/* Error occurred while transfer, clean up Master status and

Manual Function Operation
Manual multi-master operation assumes that the I2C interrupt is disabled, but it is best to take the
following precaution:
I2C_DisableInt();
/* Disable interrupt */
/* Try to generate start condition */
status = I2C_MasterSendStart(0x08, I2C_WRITE_XFER_MODE);
/* Check if start generation completed without errors */

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 transaction after wakeup. The I2C interrupt remains enabled
but interrupt handler is changed before going to sleep. Wakeup on address match triggers I2C
interrupt and I2C wakeup flag is set to notify that. Call I2C_Wakeup() function changes interrupt
handler to regular I2C and generates interrupt based on I2C wakeup flag to process in-coming
transaction. The SCL line remains low after wakeup until I2C_Wake() is called.

I2C_Sleep();
CyPmSaveClocks();

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.

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,

I C Master/Multi-Master/Slave
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 flash
data to the device, requires interrupts to be disabled. Clock stretching occurs if the address is
accepted by the I2C communication component while interrupts are disabled.

Internal I2C Bus Multiplexing
Selecting the External OE buffer option allows internal I2C bus multiplexing. The internal OE
buffers are removed and bidirectional scl and sda terminals are replaced with separate inputs
sda_i and scl_i and outputs sda_o and scl_o. The following figure shows an example of a 2:1 I2C
slave mux implemented using a schematic. It can easily be extended to support an N:1 mux. The
same idea can be used to connect an I2C master to multiple external downstream I2C buses.
The digital multiplexers are used for selection of sda_o and scl_o from different I2C buses.
Theand gates are used to join sda_i and scl_i signals. The tri-state buffers are used to make
possible control of bidirectional nature of the I2C interface.
To select between I2C buses, the control register (I2C_Bus_Select) must be set accordingly.

Figure 3. Internal I2C Bus Multiplexing
External Electrical Connections
As Figure 4 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.

transmit: Used to set the mode to transmit or receive data. This bit must be cleared by
firmware between bytes. Set = transmit and cleared = receive.

en_slave: Set to 1 to enable the slave functionality.
I2C_CSR
The status register is available in the UDB implementation for run-time status feedback from the
hardware. The status data is registered at the input clock edge of the counter for all bits
configured with mode = 1. These bits are sticky and are cleared on a read of the status register.
All other bits are configured as mode = 0 and read directly from the inputs to the status register.
They are not sticky and therefore not cleared on read. All bits configured as mode = 1 are
indicated with an asterisk (*) in the definitions listed below.

mode this bit indicates that eight bits of data plus ACK/NAK have been transmitted since
the last read. In Receive mode this bit indicates that eight bits of data have been received
since the last read of this register.
address: Address detection. If set, indicates that an address byte was received.
lbr: Last Received Bit. Indicates the state of the last received bit, which is the ACK/NAK
received for the last byte transmitted. Cleared = ACK and set = NAK.
I2C_INT_MASK
The interrupt mask register is available in the UDB implementation to specify which status bits
are enabled as interrupt sources. Any of the status register bits can be enabled as an interrupt
source with a one-to-one bit correlation to the status register bit-field definitions in the I2C_CSR
register. Two interrupt sources are used during operation: byte_complete and stop.

I C Master/Multi-Master/Slave
PSoC Creator™ Component Datasheet
Component Changes
This section lists the major changes in the component from the previous version.
Version
Description of Changes
Reason for Changes / Impact
3.30.b
Edited datasheet to add Component
Errata section.
Document that the component was changed, but there is no
impact to designs.
3.30.a
Edited the datasheet.
Updated the diagram in When to Use an I C Component
section.
2
Clarified that the fixed-function implementation uses one
interrupt.
3.30
Added MISRA Compliance section.
The component has specific deviations described.
Fixed incorrect behavior of the master
manual APIs when lost arbitration
occurs.
On a lost arbitration event, the master manual APIs returned
2
the proper status but did not release the I C bus. Code was
added to release the bus when the lost arbitration event
takes place.
Added footnote about non-compliant with Documentation enhancement.
2
the NXP I C specification in some areas.
Minor datasheet edits and updates.
3.20
3.10
This feature allows I C buses multiplexing inside PSoC.
Changed the control flow of the wake up
2
sequence to avoid disabling the I C
interrupt.
PSoC 5LP requires an I C interrupt to be enabled in order to
wake up the device at the event of an address match.
Moved the Stop interrupt to be handled
at the start of a new transaction.
The Stop interrupt was occurring while the next transaction
was beginning. This caused the interrupt code to get into an
improper state and it did not catch the Stop interrupt. This
issue applied to only the slave devices.
2
Added support PSoC 5LP.
Fixed wrong SDA behavior (the line
drives low) after address byte was
received.
3.1.a
2
New feature was added. Removed the
internal OE buffer and exposed the input
and output terminals.
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.

PSoC Creator™ Component Datasheet
Version
3.1
I C Master/Multi-Master/Slave
Description of Changes
Changed the definition from
I2C_SSTAT_RD_CMPT to
I2C_SSTAT_RD_CMPLT
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.
Reason for Changes / Impact
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.
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.
3.0.a
Minor datasheet edits and updates
3.0
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.
2
2.20
2.10
The I C 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 I C 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.
2
Changed I C bootloader communication
component behavior to suppress clock
stretching on read.
2
2
I C bootloader communication component holds SCL low
forever if a read command is issued before the start boot
process.
Added characterization data to
datasheet.
