Downloadable macro reference

ReceiveByte

Receives a byte from the I²C bus.

Returns the data received, and sends either Ack or Nak

Set parameter Last as: 1=Last=Nak, 0=Ack=More

Parameters

BYTE Last
Used to signify the last byte when streaming incoming data. 0=Not last byte, 1=Last Byte


Return value

BYTE


TransmitByte

Sends a byte on the I²C bus. Returns the acknowledge if any.

0 represents that data was acknowledged and 1 represents no acknowledge was detected.

Parameters

BYTE Data
Data byte to send on the I²C bus.


Return value

BYTE


Check_Status

Returns the Slave Status.

Bit 0 = 1 Indicates address/data byte available in the buffer to read

Bit 5 = 1 Indicates that the last byte received or transmitted was data (else address)

Parameters

This macro has no parameters


Return value

BYTE


Initialise

Enables the I²C hardware and performs some initialization.

Should be called at the start of the program or at least before any of the other I²C functions are called.

Parameters

This macro has no parameters


Return value

This call does not return a value


Simulation macro reference

This component does not contain any simulation macros


Property reference

Channel

This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c::CHANNEL.

Channel selection

Baud Select

This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c::BAUD_LIST.

Baud rate option selector

Baud Rate

This property is of type Signed integer and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c::BAUD.

Baud rate to be used

Stop Delay

This property is of type True or false and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c::StopDel.

On older microcontroller devices there is a potential for the I2C hardware channel to lock up if there is not

a 10ms delay between an I2C stop event and the next I2C start event.


Most modern microcontrollers will not have a problem so this property can be disabled to speed up the

I2C communications.

Slave Address

This property is of type Unsigned integer and can be referenced with the variable name Slave_Address.

No additional information


Mask

This property is of type Unsigned integer and can be referenced with the variable name Mask.

0 - don't care;

1 - perform match;

So address of 0x30 and mask of 0xF0 will allow the slave to respond to addresses of 0x30, 0x31, 0x32, …, 0x3F

SDA

This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c::SDA.

Pin used for SDA (data signal)

SCL

This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c::SCL.

Pin used for SCL (clock signal)

Label

This property is of type Line of text and can be referenced with the variable name label.

Label shown on the comms flasher on the simulation panel.

Scope Traces

This property is of type True or false and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c::ScopeTraces.

Selects if the scope traces are automatically generated or not

Console Data

This property is of type True or false and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c::ConsoleData.

Selects if the console data is automatically generated or not

Injector

This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c::Injector.
