dsPIC33EPXXXGM3XX/6XX/7XX
19.0 INTER-INTEGRATED
CIRCUIT™ (I
2
C™)
The dsPIC33EPXXXGM3XX/6XX/7XX family of
devices contains two Inter-Integrated Circuit (I
2
C)
modules: I2C1 and I2C2.
The I
2
C module provides complete hardware support
for both Slave and Multi-Master modes of the I
2
C serial
communication standard, with a 16-bit interface.
The I
2
C module has a 2-pin interface:
• The SCLx pin is clock.
• The SDAx pin is data.
The I
2
C module offers the following key features:
•I
2
C Interface Supporting both Master and Slave
modes of Operation.
•I
2
C Slave mode Supports 7 and
10-Bit Addressing.
•I
2
C Master mode Supports 7 and
10-Bit Addressing.
•I
2
C Port Allows Bidirectional Transfers Between
Master and Slaves.
• Serial Clock Synchronization for I
2
C Port can be
used as a Handshake Mechanism to Suspend
and Resume Serial Transfer (SCLREL control).
•I
2
C Supports Multi-Master Operation, Detects Bus
Collision and Arbitrates Accordingly.
• Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)
Support
• System Management Bus (SMBus) Support
