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.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 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.
| 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.
| Value | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 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 | 2ADDRS | 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 10 – AACKEN Automatic Acknowledge Enable
This bit enables the address to be automatically acknowledged if there is an address match.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Automatic acknowledge is disabled. |
| 1 | Automatic acknowledge is enabled. |
Bit 9 – GCMD PMBus Group Command
This bit enables PMBus group command support. When enabled, the Stop Received interrupt flag (INTFLAG.PREC) will be set when a STOP condition is detected if the client has been addressed since the last STOP condition on the bus.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Group command is disabled. |
| 1 | Group command is enabled. |
Bit 8 – SMEN Smart Mode Enable
When smart mode is enabled, data is acknowledged automatically when DATA.DATA is read.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Smart mode is disabled. |
| 1 | Smart mode is enabled. |
