5.1 Generating Start Bus Event
To initiate a Start event, the user software sets the SEN bit (I2CxCON<0> or I2CxCONL<0>).
Prior to setting the Start bit, the user software can check the P status bit (I2CxSTAT<4>) to ensure
that the bus is in an Idle state.
Figure 5-2 illustrates the timing of the Start condition.
• Slave logic detects the Start condition, sets the S status bit (I2CxSTAT<3>) and clears the
P status bit (I2CxSTAT<4>)
• The SEN bit is automatically cleared at completion of the Start condition
• The MI2CxIF interrupt is generated at completion of the Start condition
• After the Start condition, the SDAx line and SCLx lines are left low (Q state)
5.1.1 IWCOL STATUS FLAG
If the user software writes to the I2CxTRN register when a Start sequence is in progress, the
IWCOL status bit (I2CxSTAT<7>) is set and the contents of the transmit buffer are unchanged
(the write does not occur).
Figure 5-2: Master Start Timing Diagram
Note: As the queuing of events is not allowed, writing to the lower 5 bits of the I2CxCON
or I2CxCONL register is disabled until the Start condition is complete.

Writing SEN = 1 initiates a master Start
event. BRG starts.
The BRG times out. Master module
drives SDAx low. The BRG restarts.
The slave detects the Start and sets
S = 1 and P = 0.
The BRG times out. The master
module drives SCLx low, generates an
interrupt and clears the SEN bit.
