Table 3-9. Address Register Definitions
Bits Field Name Description
7:1 SLA6 – SLA0
Slave Address
For 7-bit addressing, these bits are the 7-bit address of the I
2
C controller in slave
mode. When the I
2
C controller receives this address after a START condition, it
generates an interrupt and enters slave mode. (SLA6 corresponds to the first bit
received from the I
2
C bus.)
For 10-bit addressing, when the address received starts with F0h-F7h, the I
2
C
controller recognizes the correspondence to SLAX9 and SLAX8 of an extended
address, and sends an ACK. (The device does not generate an interrupt at this
point.) After receiving the next address byte, the I
2
C controller generates an
interrupt and enters slave mode.
0 GCE
General Call Address Enable
1 = I
2
C controller recognizes the general-call address at 00h (7-bit addressing).
0 = I
2
C controller does not recognize the general-call address at 00h (7-bit
addressing).
