Bit 18 – ACKACT Acknowledge Action

This bit defines the Client's acknowledge behavior after an address or data byte is received from the Host. The acknowledge action is executed when a command is written to the CMD bits. If smart mode is enabled (CTRLB.SMEN=1), the acknowledge action is performed when the DATA register is read.

This bit is not enable-protected.

ValueDescription
0 Send ACK
1 Send NACK

Bits 17:16 – CMD[1:0] Command

This bit field triggers the Client operation as the below. The CMD bits are strobe bits, and always read as zero. The operation is dependent on the Client interrupt flags, INTFLAG.DRDY and INTFLAG.AMATCH, in addition to STATUS.DIR.

All interrupt flags (INTFLAG.DRDY, INTFLAG.AMATCH and INTFLAG.PREC) are automatically cleared when a command is given.

This bit is not enable-protected.

Table 26-1. Command Description
CMD[1:0] DIR Action
0x0 X (No action)
0x1 X (Reserved)
0x2 Used to complete a transaction in response to a data interrupt (DRDY)
0 (Host write) Execute acknowledge action succeeded by waiting for any start (S/Sr) condition
1 (Host read) Wait for any start (S/Sr) condition
0x3 Used in response to an address interrupt (AMATCH)
0 (Host write) Execute acknowledge action succeeded by reception of next byte
1 (Host read) Execute acknowledge action succeeded by Client data interrupt
Used in response to a data interrupt (DRDY)
0 (Host write) Execute acknowledge action succeeded by reception of next byte
1 (Host read) Execute a byte read operation followed by ACK/NACK reception

Bits 15:14 – AMODE[1:0] Address Mode

These bits set the addressing mode.

These bits are not write-synchronized.

ValueNameDescription
0x0 MASK The Client responds to the address written in ADDR.ADDR masked by the value in ADDR.ADDRMASK.

See SERCOM – Serial Communication Interface for additional information.

0x1 2_ADDRS The Client responds to the two unique addresses in ADDR.ADDR and ADDR.ADDRMASK.
0x2 RANGE The Client responds to the range of addresses between and including ADDR.ADDR and ADDR.ADDRMASK. ADDR.ADDR is the upper limit.
0x3 - Reserved.

Bit 8 – SMEN Smart Mode Enable

When smart mode is enabled, data is acknowledged automatically when DATA.DATA is read.

This bit is not write-synchronized.

ValueDescription
0 Smart mode is disabled.
1 Smart mode is enabled.
