Figure 15-20. 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 15-21. Possible status values are given in circles.
