I2C MASTER MODE START
CONDITION TIMING
To initiate a Start condition, the user sets the Start
Enable bit, SEN (SSPCON2<0>). If the SDA and SCL
pins are sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is
reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and starts
its count. If SCL and SDA are both sampled high when
the Baud Rate Generator times out (TBRG), the SDA
pin is driven low. The action of the SDA being driven
low while SCL is high is the Start condition and causes
the S bit (SSPSTAT<3>) to be set. Following this, the
Baud Rate Generator is reloaded with the contents of
SSPADD<6:0> and resumes its count. When the Baud
Rate Generator times out (TBRG), the SEN bit
(SSPCON2<0>) will be automatically cleared by
hardware. The Baud Rate Generator is suspended,
leaving the SDA line held low and the Start condition is
complete.

WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Start sequence
is in progress, the WCOL is set and the contents of the
buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).
FIGURE 17-21:
FIRST START BIT TIMING
Note:
If, at the beginning of the Start condition, the
SDA and SCL pins are already sampled
low, or if during the Start condition, the SCL
line is sampled low before the SDA line is
driven low, a bus collision occurs. The Bus
Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLIF, is set, the
Start condition is aborted and the I2C
module is reset into its Idle state.
Note:
Because queueing of events is not
allowed, writing to the lower 5 bits of
SSPCON2 is disabled until the Start
condition is complete.
