Bits 23:16 – LEN[7:0] Transaction Length

These bits define the transaction length of a DMA and/or 32-bit transaction from 0 to 255 bytes. The Transfer Length Enable (LENEN) bit must be written to '1' in order to use DMA.

Bit 15 – TENBITEN Ten Bit Addressing Enable

This bit enables 10-bit addressing. This bit can be written simultaneously with ADDR to indicate a 10-bit or 7-bit address transmission.

ValueDescription
010-bit addressing disabled.
110-bit addressing enabled.

Bit 14 – HS High Speed Enable

This bit enables High-speed mode for the current transfer from repeated START to STOP. This bit can be written simultaneously with ADDR for a high speed transfer.

ValueDescription
0High-speed transfer disabled.
1High-speed transfer enabled.

Bit 13 – LENEN Transfer Length Enable

ValueDescription
0Automatic transfer length disabled.
1Automatic transfer length enabled.

Bits 10:0 – ADDR[10:0] Address

When ADDR is written, the consecutive operation will depend on the bus state:

  • UNKNOWN: INTFLAG.MB and STATUS.BUSERR are set, and the operation is terminated.
  • BUSY: The I2C host will await further operation until the bus becomes IDLE.
  • IDLE: The I2C host will issue a start condition followed by the address written in ADDR. If the address is acknowledged, SCL is forced and held low, and STATUS.CLKHOLD and INTFLAG.MB are set.
  • OWNER: A repeated start sequence will be performed. If the previous transaction was a read, the acknowledge action is sent before the repeated start bus condition is issued on the bus. Writing ADDR to issue a repeated start is performed while INTFLAG.MB or INTFLAG.SB is set.

    STATUS.BUSERR, STATUS.ARBLOST, INTFLAG.MB and INTFLAG.SB will be cleared when ADDR is written.

    The ADDR register can be read at any time without interfering with ongoing bus activity, as a read access does not trigger the host logic to perform any bus protocol related operations.

Note: The I2C host control logic uses bit 0 of ADDR as the bus protocol’s read/write flag (R/W); 0 for write and 1 for read.
