Function Documentation

I2C_BusFreqGet()

uint32_t I2C_BusFreqGet ( I2C_TypeDef * i2c )

Get the current configured I2C bus frequency.

This frequency is only relevant when acting as master.

Note
The actual frequency is a real number, this function returns a rounded down (truncated) integer value.
Parameters
[in] i2c A pointer to the I2C peripheral register block.
Returns
The current I2C frequency in Hz.

I2C_BusFreqSet()

void I2C_BusFreqSet ( I2C_TypeDef * i2c,
uint32_t freqRef,
uint32_t freqScl,
I2C_ClockHLR_TypeDef i2cMode
)

Set the I2C bus frequency.

The bus frequency is only relevant when acting as master. The bus frequency should not be set higher than the maximum frequency accepted by the slowest device on the bus.

Notice that, due to asymmetric requirements on low and high I2C clock cycles in the I2C specification, the maximum frequency allowed to comply with the specification may be somewhat lower than expected.

See the reference manual, details on I2C clock generation, for maximum allowed theoretical frequencies for different modes.

Parameters
[in] i2c A pointer to the I2C peripheral register block.
[in] freqRef An I2C reference clock frequency in Hz that will be used. If set to 0, HFPERCLK / HFPERCCLK clock is used. Setting it to a higher than actual configured value has the consequence of reducing the real I2C frequency.
[in] freqScl A bus frequency to set (bus speed may be lower due to integer prescaling). Safe (according to the I2C specification) maximum frequencies for standard fast and fast+ modes are available using I2C_FREQ_ defines. (Using I2C_FREQ_ defines requires corresponding setting of type .) The slowest slave device on a bus must always be considered.
[in] i2cMode A clock low-to-high ratio type to use. If not using i2cClockHLRStandard, make sure all devices on the bus support the specified mode. Using a non-standard ratio is useful to achieve a higher bus clock in fast and fast+ modes.

I2C_Enable()

void I2C_Enable ( I2C_TypeDef * i2c,
bool enable
)

Enable/disable I2C.

Note
After enabling the I2C (from being disabled), the I2C is in BUSY state.
Parameters
[in] i2c A pointer to the I2C peripheral register block.
[in] enable True to enable counting, false to disable.

I2C_Init()

void I2C_Init ( I2C_TypeDef * i2c,
const I2C_Init_TypeDef * init
)

uint32_t flags
)
inline

Clear one or more pending I2C interrupts.

Parameters
[in] i2c Pointer to I2C peripheral register block.
[in] flags Pending I2C interrupt source to clear. Use a bitwise logic OR combination of valid interrupt flags for the I2C module (I2C_IF_nnn).

Note
Depending on the use, a pending interrupt may already be set prior to enabling the interrupt. To ignore a pending interrupt, consider using I2C_IntClear() prior to enabling the interrupt.
Parameters
[in] i2c Pointer to I2C peripheral register block.
[in] flags I2C interrupt sources to enable. Use a bitwise logic OR combination of valid interrupt flags for the I2C module (I2C_IF_nnn).

I2C_SlaveAddressGet()

uint8_t I2C_SlaveAddressGet ( I2C_TypeDef * i2c )
inline

Get slave address used for I2C peripheral (when operating in slave mode).

For 10-bit addressing mode, the address is split in two bytes, and only the first byte setting is fetched, effectively only controlling the 2 most significant bits of the 10-bit address. Full handling of 10-bit addressing in slave mode requires additional SW handling.

Parameters
[in] i2c Pointer to I2C peripheral register block.
Returns
I2C slave address in use. The 7 most significant bits define the actual address, the least significant bit is reserved and always returned as 0.

I2C_SlaveAddressSet()

void I2C_SlaveAddressSet ( I2C_TypeDef * i2c,
uint8_t addr
)
inline

Set slave address to use for I2C peripheral (when operating in slave mode).

For 10- bit addressing mode, the address is split in two bytes, and only the first byte is set, effectively only controlling the 2 most significant bits of the 10-bit address. Full handling of 10-bit addressing in slave mode requires additional SW handling.

Parameters
[in] i2c Pointer to I2C peripheral register block.
[in] addr I2C slave address to use. The 7 most significant bits define the actual address, the least significant bit is reserved and always set to 0.

I2C_SlaveAddressMaskGet()

uint8_t I2C_SlaveAddressMaskGet ( I2C_TypeDef * i2c )
inline

Get slave address mask used for I2C peripheral (when operating in slave mode).

The address mask defines how the comparator works. A bit position with value 0 means that the corresponding slave address bit is ignored during comparison (don't care). A bit position with value 1 means that the corresponding slave address bit must match.

For 10-bit addressing mode, the address is split in two bytes, and only the mask for the first address byte is fetched, effectively only controlling the 2 most significant bits of the 10-bit address.

Parameters
[in] i2c Pointer to I2C peripheral register block.
Returns
I2C slave address mask in use. The 7 most significant bits define the actual address mask, the least significant bit is reserved and always returned as 0.

I2C_SlaveAddressMaskSet()

void I2C_SlaveAddressMaskSet ( I2C_TypeDef * i2c,
uint8_t mask
)
inline

Set slave address mask used for I2C peripheral (when operating in slave mode).

The address mask defines how the comparator works. A bit position with value 0 means that the corresponding slave address bit is ignored during comparison (don't care). A bit position with value 1 means that the corresponding slave address bit must match.

For 10-bit addressing mode, the address is split in two bytes, and only the mask for the first address byte is set, effectively only controlling the 2 most significant bits of the 10-bit address.

Parameters
[in] i2c Pointer to I2C peripheral register block.
[in] mask I2C slave address mask to use. The 7 most significant bits define the actual address mask, the least significant bit is reserved and should be 0.

I2C_Transfer()

I2C_TransferReturn_TypeDef I2C_Transfer ( I2C_TypeDef * i2c )

Continue an initiated I2C transfer (single master mode only).

This function is used repeatedly after a I2C_TransferInit() to complete a transfer. It may be used in polled mode as the below example shows:

// Do a polled transfer
ret = I2C_TransferInit (I2C0, seq);
while (ret == i2cTransferInProgress )
{
ret = I2C_Transfer (I2C0);
}

It may also be used in interrupt driven mode, where this function is invoked from the interrupt handler. Notice that, if used in interrupt mode, NVIC interrupts must be configured and enabled for the I2C bus used. I2C peripheral specific interrupts are managed by this software.

Note
Only single master mode is supported.
Parameters
[in] i2c A pointer to the I2C peripheral register block.
Returns
Returns status for an ongoing transfer.

I2C_TransferInit()

I2C_TransferReturn_TypeDef I2C_TransferInit ( I2C_TypeDef * i2c,
I2C_TransferSeq_TypeDef * seq
)

Prepare and start an I2C transfer (single master mode only).

This function must be invoked to start an I2C transfer sequence. To complete the transfer, I2C_Transfer() must be used either in polled mode or by adding a small driver wrapper using interrupts.

Note
Only single master mode is supported.
Parameters
[in] i2c A pointer to the I2C peripheral register block.
[in] seq A pointer to the sequence structure defining the I2C transfer to take place. The referenced structure must exist until the transfer has fully completed.
Returns
Returns the status for an ongoing transfer:

Macro Definition Documentation

I2C_FREQ_STANDARD_MAX

#define I2C_FREQ_STANDARD_MAX   92000

Standard mode max frequency assuming using 4:4 ratio for Nlow:Nhigh.

From I2C specification: Min Tlow = 4.7us, min Thigh = 4.0us, max Trise=1.0us, max Tfall=0.3us. Since ratio is 4:4, have to use worst case value of Tlow or Thigh as base.

1/(Tlow + Thigh + 1us + 0.3us) = 1/(4.7 + 4.7 + 1.3)us = 93458Hz

Note
Due to chip characteristics, max value is somewhat reduced.

I2C_FREQ_FAST_MAX

#define I2C_FREQ_FAST_MAX   392157

Fast mode max frequency assuming using 6:3 ratio for Nlow:Nhigh.

From I2C specification: Min Tlow = 1.3us, min Thigh = 0.6us, max Trise=0.3us, max Tfall=0.3us. Since ratio is 6:3, have to use worst case value of Tlow or 2xThigh as base.

1/(Tlow + Thigh + 0.3us + 0.3us) = 1/(1.3 + 0.65 + 0.6)us = 392157Hz

I2C_FREQ_FASTPLUS_MAX

#define I2C_FREQ_FASTPLUS_MAX   987167

Fast mode+ max frequency assuming using 11:6 ratio for Nlow:Nhigh.

From I2C specification: Min Tlow = 0.5us, min Thigh = 0.26us, max Trise=0.12us, max Tfall=0.12us. Since ratio is 11:6, have to use worst case value of Tlow or (11/6)xThigh as base.

1/(Tlow + Thigh + 0.12us + 0.12us) = 1/(0.5 + 0.273 + 0.24)us = 987167Hz
