C Bus Interface 2 (IIC2) 
The I
2
C bus interface 2 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. 
Figure 18.1 shows a block diagram of the I
2
C bus interface 2. 
Figure 18.2 shows an example of I/O pin connections to external circuits. 
18.1 Features 
•  Selection of I
2
C format or clocked synchronous serial format 
•  Continuous transmission/reception 
Since the shift register, transmit data register, and receive data register are independent from 
each other, the continuous transmission/reception can be performed. 
I
2
C bus format 
•  Start and stop conditions generated automatically in master mode 
•  Selection of acknowledge output levels when receiving 
•  Automatic loading of acknowledge bit when transmitting 
•  Bit synchronization/wait function 
In master mode, the state of SCL is monitored per bit, and the timing is synchronized 
automatically. 
If transmission/reception is not yet possible, set the SCL to low until preparations are 
completed. 
•  Six interrupt sources 
Transmit data empty (including slave-address match), transmit end, receive data full (including 
slave-address match), arbitration lost, NACK detection, and stop condition detection 
•  Direct bus drive 
Two pins, SCL and SDA pins, function as NMOS open-drain outputs when the bus drive 
function is selected. 
Clocked synchronous format 
•  Four interrupt sources 
Transmit-data-empty, transmit-end, receive-data-full, and overrun error
