C Bus Interface (IIC) (Option) 
An I
2
C bus interface is available as an option. Observe the following notes when using this option. 
1.  For masked ROM versions, a W is added to the part number in products in which this optional 
function is used. 
Examples: HD6432239WTE 
The H8S/2258 Group, H8S/2239 Group, and H8S/2238 Group have an internal I
2
C bus 
interface of two channels. 
The I
2
C bus interface conforms to and provides a subset of the Philips I
2
C bus (inter-IC bus) 
interface functions. The register configuration that controls the I
2
C bus differs partly from the 
Philips configuration, however. 
The I
2
C bus interface data transfer is performed using a data line (SDA) and a clock line (SCL) for 
each channel, which allows efficient use of connectors and the area of the PCB. 
Notes: 1.  An I
2
C bus interface is not available in the H8S/2237 Group and H8S/2227 Group. 
  2.  When the power supply voltage ranges from 2.2 V to 2.7 V, the I
2
C bus interface is not 
available. 
16.1 Features  
•  Selection of I
2
C bus format or clocked synchronous serial format 
⎯  I
2
C bus format: addressing format with acknowledge bit, for master/slave operation 
⎯  Clocked synchronous serial format: non-addressing format without acknowledge bit, for 
master operation only 
I
2
C bus format 
•  Two ways of setting slave address 
•  Start and stop conditions generated automatically in master mode 
•  Selection of acknowledge output levels when receiving 
•  Automatic loading of acknowledge bit when transmitting 
•  Wait function in master mode  
A wait can be inserted by driving the SCL pin low after data transfer, excluding 
acknowledgement. The wait can be cleared by clearing the interrupt flag.
