Packet error checking
A packet error checking mechanism has been introduced in the SMBus specification to improve
reliability and communication robustness. Packet Error Checking is implemented by appending a
Packet Error Code (PEC) at the end of each message transfer. The PEC is calculated by using the
C(x) = x 8 + x 2 + x + 1 CRC-8 polynomial on all the message bytes (including addresses and
read/write bits).
The peripheral embeds a hardware PEC calculator when the PECEN bit (I2C_BUSCTL[1]) is set
and allows to send a Not Acknowledge automatically when the received byte does not match with
the hardware calculated PEC. The calculated value of PEC also can be read back on I2C_PKTCRC.
Time-out
This peripheral embeds hardware timers in order to be compliant with the 3 time-outs defined in
SMBus specification ver. 2.0.
Bus management time-out:
1. The SCLK low time-out condition when bus no IDLE
T = BUSTO(I2C_BUSTOUT[7:0]) x 16x1024 (14-bit) x T
Time-out
= BUSTO(I2C_BUSTOUT[7:0] x 16x1024 (14-bit) x 4 x T
2. The bus idle condition (both SCLK and SDA high) when bus IDLE
T = BUSTO(I2C_BUSTOUT[7:0]) x 4 x T
