18.4.7 BAUD RATE
In I
2
C Master mode, the Baud Rate Generator (BRG)
reload value is placed in the lower 7 bits of the
SSPADD register (Figure 18-17). When a write occurs
to SSPBUF, the Baud Rate Generator will automatically
begin counting. The BRG counts down and stops until
another reload has taken place. The BRG count is
decremented twice per instruction cycle (T
CY) on the
Q2 and Q4 clocks. In I
2
C Master mode, the BRG is
reloaded automatically.
Once the given operation is complete (i.e., transmis-
sion of the last data bit is followed by ACK
), the internal
clock will automatically stop counting and the SCL pin
will remain in its last state.
Table 18-3 demonstrates clock rates based on
instruction cycles and the BRG value loaded into
SSPADD.
