Field Documentation

useRxFifo

bool cy_stc_scb_i2c_config_t::useRxFifo

The SCB provides an RX FIFO in hardware (consult the selected device datasheet to get the actual FIFO size).

The useRxFifo field defines how the driver firmware reads data from the RX FIFO:

• If this option is enabled, the hardware is configured to automatically ACK incoming data, and interrupt is enabled to take data out of the RX FIFO when it has some number of bytes (typically, when it is half full).
• If this option is disabled, the interrupt is enabled to take data out of the RX FIFO when a byte is available. Also, hardware does not automatically ACK the data. Firmware must tell the hardware to ACK the byte (so each byte requires interrupt processing).
  Typically, this option should be enabled to configure hardware to automatically ACK incoming data. Otherwise hardware might not get the command to ACK or NACK a byte fast enough, and clock stretching is applied (the transaction is delayed) until the command is set. When this option is enabled, the number of interrupts required to process the transaction is significantly reduced because several bytes are handled at once.
  However, there is a side effect:
• For master mode, the drawback is that the master may receive more data than desired due to the interrupt latency. An interrupt fires when the second-to-last byte has been received. This interrupt tells the hardware to stop receiving data. If the latency of this interrupt is longer than one transaction of the byte on the I2C bus, then the hardware automatically ACKs the following bytes until the interrupt is serviced or the RX FIFO becomes full.
• For slave mode, the drawback is that the slave only NACKs the master when the RX FIFO becomes full, NOT when the slave write firmware buffer becomes full.
  In either master or slave mode, all received extra bytes are dropped.

  Note

  The useRxFifo option is not available if acceptAddrInFifo is true.

useTxFifo

bool cy_stc_scb_i2c_config_t::useTxFifo

The SCB provides a TX FIFO in hardware (consult the selected device datasheet to get the actual FIFO size).

The useTxFifo option defines how the driver firmware loads data into the TX FIFO:

• If this option is enabled, the TX FIFO is fully loaded with data and the interrupt is enabled to keep the TX FIFO loaded until the end of the transaction.
• If this option is disabled, a single byte is loaded into the TX FIFO and the interrupt enabled to load the next byte when the TX FIFO becomes empty (so each byte requires interrupt processing).
  Typically, this option should be enabled to keep the TX FIFO loaded with data and reduce the probability of clock stretching. When there is no data to transfer, clock stretching is applied (the transaction is delayed) until the data is loaded. When this option is enabled, the number of interrupts required to process the transaction is significantly reduced because several bytes are handled at once.
  The drawback of enabling useTxFifo is that the abort operation clears the TX FIFO. The TX FIFO clear operation also clears the shift register. As a result the shifter may be cleared in the middle of a byte transaction, corrupting it. The remaining bits to transaction within the corrupted byte are complemented with 1s. If this is an issue, then do not enable this option.

slaveAddressMask

uint8_t cy_stc_scb_i2c_config_t::slaveAddressMask

The slave address mask is used to mask bits of the slave address during the address match procedure (it is used only for the slave mode).

Bit 0 of the address mask corresponds to the read/write direction bit and is always a do not care in the address match therefore must be set 0. Bit value 0 - excludes bit from address comparison. Bit value 1 - the bit needs to match with the corresponding bit of the I2C slave address.

lowPhaseDutyCycle

uint32_t cy_stc_scb_i2c_config_t::lowPhaseDutyCycle

The number of SCB clock cycles in the low phase of SCL.

Only applicable in master modes. The valid range is 7 to 16.

highPhaseDutyCycle

uint32_t cy_stc_scb_i2c_config_t::highPhaseDutyCycle

The number of SCB clock cycles in the high phase of SCL.

Only applicable in master modes. The valid range is 5 to 16. Please refer to the section I2C Master Clock Synchronization for more information.
