Bus Collision During a Repeated 
Start Condition
During a Repeated Start condition, a bus collision
occurs if: 
a)
A low level is sampled on SDA when SCL goes
from low level to high level.
b)
SCL goes low before SDA is asserted low,
indicating that another master is attempting to
transmit a data ‘1’.
When the user releases SDA and the pin is allowed to
float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPADD and counts
down to zero. The SCL pin is then deasserted and
when sampled high, the SDA pin is sampled. 
If SDA is low, a bus collision has occurred (i.e., another
master is attempting to transmit a data ‘0’, 
).
If SDA is sampled high, the BRG is reloaded and begins
counting. If SDA goes from high-to-low before the BRG
times out, no bus collision occurs because no two
masters can assert SDA at exactly the same time. 
If SCL goes from high-to-low before the BRG times out
and SDA has not already been asserted, a bus collision
occurs. In this case, another master is attempting to
transmit a data ‘1’ during the Repeated Start condition,
see 
If, at the end of the BRG time-out, both SCL and SDA
are still high, the SDA pin is driven low and the BRG is
reloaded and begins counting. At the end of the count,
regardless of the status of the SCL pin, the SCL pin is
driven low and the Repeated Start condition is
complete.
