Figure 21-12. Formats and States in the Master Transmitter Mode
21.6.3 Master Receiver Mode
In the Master Receiver mode, a number of data bytes are received from a Slave Transmitter (see Figure 21-13). In
order to enter a Master mode, a START condition must be transmitted. The format of the following address packet
determines whether Master Transmitter or Master Receiver mode is to be entered. If SLA+W is transmitted, MT
mode is entered, if SLA+R is transmitted, MR mode is entered. All the status codes mentioned in this section
assume that the prescaler bits are zero or are masked to zero.
