13.22.6.4.2 Interrupts

The I2C slave has the following interrupt sources. These are asynchronous interrupts. They can wake-up the device from any sleep mode:

  • Error (ERROR)
  • Data Ready (DRDY)
  • Address Match (AMATCH)
  • Stop Received (PREC)

The I2C master has the following interrupt sources. These are asynchronous interrupts. They can wake-up the device from any sleep mode:

  • Error (ERROR)
  • Slave on Bus (SB)
  • Master on Bus (MB)

Each interrupt source has its own interrupt flag. The interrupt flag in the Interrupt Flag Status and Clear register (INTFLAG) will be set when the interrupt condition is meet. Each interrupt can be individually enabled by writing ‘1’ to the corresponding bit in the Interrupt Enable Set register (INTENSET), and disabled by writing ‘1’ to the corresponding bit in the Interrupt Enable Clear register (INTENCLR). An interrupt request is generated when the interrupt flag is set and the corresponding interrupt is enabled. The interrupt request active until the interrupt flag is cleared, the interrupt is disabled or the I2C is reset. See INTFLAG13.22.10.6 Interrupt Flag Status and Clear register for details on how to clear interrupt flags.

The I2C has one common interrupt request line for all the interrupt sources. The value of INTFLAG indicates which interrupt is executed. Note that interrupts must be globally enabled for interrupt requests. Refer to Nested Vector Interrupt Controller for details.
