13.6 Usage Notes
1. In master mode, if an instruction to generate a start condition is issued and then an instruction
to generate a stop condition is issued before the start condition is output to the I 2 C bus, neither
condition will be output correctly. To output the start condition followed by the stop condition,
after issuing the instruction that generates the start condition, read DR in each I
2 C bus output
pin, and check that SCL and SDA are both low. The pin states can be monitored by reading
DR even if the ICE bit is set to 1. Then issue the instruction that generates the stop condition.
Note that SCL may not yet have gone low when BBSY is cleared to 0.
2. Either of the following two conditions will start the next transfer. Pay attention to these
conditions when accessing to ICDR.
 Write to ICDR when ICE = 1 and TRS = 1 (including automatic transfer from ICDRT to
ICDRS)
 Read from ICDR when ICE = 1 and TRS = 0 (including automatic transfer from ICDRS to
ICDRR)
3. Table 13.8 shows the timing of SCL and SDA outputs in synchronization with the internal
clock. Timings on the bus are determined by the rise and fall times of signals affected by the
bus load capacitance, series resistance, and parallel resistance.

4. SCL and SDA inputs are sampled in synchronization with the internal clock. The AC timing
therefore depends on the system clock cycle t
cyc
, as shown in section 22, Electrical
Characteristics. Note that the I 2 C bus interface AC timing specifications will not be met with a
system clock frequency of less than 5 MHz.
