Figure 24-20. An Arbitration Example

Several different scenarios may arise during arbitration, as described below:

•

Two or more masters are performing identical communication with the same Slave. In this case, neither the

Slave nor any of the masters will know about the bus contention.

•

Two or more masters are accessing the same Slave with different data or direction bit. In this case, arbitration

will occur, either in the READ/WRITE bit or in the data bits. The masters trying to output a one on SDA while

another Master outputs a zero will lose the arbitration. Losing masters will switch to not addressed Slave mode

or wait until the bus is free and transmit a new START condition, depending on application software action.

•

Two or more masters are accessing different slaves. In this case, arbitration will occur in the SLA bits. Masters

trying to output a one on SDA while another Master outputs a zero will lose the arbitration. Masters losing

arbitration in SLA will switch to Slave mode to check if they are being addressed by the winning Master. If

addressed, they will switch to SR or ST mode, depending on the value of the READ/WRITE bit. If they are not

being addressed, they will switch to not addressed Slave mode or wait until the bus is free and transmit a new

START condition, depending on application software action.

This is summarized in Figure 24-21. Possible status values are given in circles.
