(3) Slave operation
The processing procedure of the slave operation is as follows.
Basically, the slave operation is event-driven. Therefore, processing by the INTIICA0 interrupt (processing that
must substantially change the operation status such as detection of a stop condition during communication) is
necessary.
In the following explanation, it is assumed that the extension code is not supported for data communication. It is
also assumed that the INTIICA0 interrupt servicing only performs status transition processing, and that actual data
communication is performed by the main processing.

Therefore, data communication processing is performed by preparing the following three flags and passing them to
the main processing instead of INTIICA0.
<1> Communication mode flag
This flag indicates the following two communication statuses.
• Clear mode: Status in which data communication is not performed
• Communication mode: Status in which data communication is performed (from valid address detection to
stop condition detection, no detection of ACK from master, address mismatch)
<2> Ready flag
This flag indicates that data communication is enabled. Its function is the same as the INTIICA0 interrupt for
ordinary data communication. This flag is set by interrupt servicing and cleared by the main processing.
Clear this flag by interrupt servicing when communication is started. However, the ready flag is not set by
interrupt servicing when the first data is transmitted. Therefore, the first data is transmitted without the flag
being cleared (an address match is interpreted as a request for the next data).
<3> Communication direction flag
This flag indicates the direction of communication. Its value is the same as the TRC0 bit.
