since slave 1 requires a 0 in bit 1. A unique address for slave 1 would be 1100 0001 since a 1 in bit 0 will exclude slave 0. Both
slaves can be selected at the same time by an address which has bit 0 = 0 (for slave 0) and bit 1 = 0 (for slave 1). Thus, both
could be addressed with 1100 0000.
In a more complex system the following could be used to select slaves 1 and 2 while excluding slave 0:
Slave 0 SADDR = 1100 0000
SADEN = 1111 1001
Given = 1100 0XX0
Slave 1 SADDR = 1110 0000
SADEN = 1111 1010
Given = 1110 0X0X
Slave 2 SADDR = 1110 0000
SADEN = 1111 1100
Given = 1110 00XX
In the above example the differentiation among the 3 slaves is in the lower 3 address bits. Slave 0 requires that bit 0 = 0 and it
can be uniquely addressed by 1110 0110. Slave 1 requires that bit 1 = 0 and it can be uniquely addressed by 1110 and 0101.
Slave 2 requires that bit 2 = 0 and its unique address is 1110 0011. To select Slaves 0 and 1 and exclude Slave 2 use address
1110 0100, since it is necessary to make bit 2 = 1 to exclude slave 2. The Broadcast Address for each slave is created by taking
the logical OR of SADDR and SADEN. Zeros in this result are treated as don’t-cares. In most cases, interpreting the don’t-cares
as ones, the broadcast address will be FF hexadecimal. Upon reset SADDR and SADEN are loaded with 0s. This produces a
given address of all “don’t cares” as well as a Broadcast address of all “don’t cares”. This effectively disables the Automatic
Addressing mode and allows the microcontroller to use standard UART drivers which do not make use of this feature.
