Bits 7:1 – ADDRMASK[6:0] Address Mask

The ADDRMASK bit field acts as a second address match or an address mask register depending on the ADDREN bit.

If the ADDREN bit is written to ‘0’, the ADDRMASK bit field can be loaded with a 7-bit Slave Address mask. Each of the bits in the Slave Address Mask (TWIn.SADDRMASK) register can mask (disable) the corresponding address bits in the TWI Slave Address (TWIn.SADDR) register. When a bit from the mask is written to ‘1’, the address match logic ignores the comparison between the incoming address bit and the corresponding bit in the Slave Address (TWIn.SADDR) register. In other words, masked bits will always match, making it possible to recognize ranges of addresses.

If the ADDREN bit is written to ‘1’, the Slave Address Mask (TWIn.SADDRMASK) register can be loaded with a second slave address in addition to the Slave Address (TWIn.SADDR) register. In this mode, the slave will have two unique addresses, one in the Slave Address (TWIn.SADDR) register and the other one in the Slave Address Mask (TWIn.SADDRMASK) register.

Bit 0 – ADDREN Address Mask Enable

If this bit is written to ‘0’, the TWIn.SADDRMASK register acts as a mask to the TWIn.SADDR register.

If this bit is written to ‘1’, the slave address match logic responds to the two unique addresses in slave TWIn.SADDR and TWIn.SADDRMASK.
