C MASTER MODE START 
CONDITION TIMING
To initiate a Start condition, the user sets the Start
Enable bit, SEN (SSPCON2<0>). If the SDA and SCL
pins are sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is
reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and starts
its count. If SCL and SDA are both sampled high when
the Baud Rate Generator times out (T
BRG
), the SDA
pin is driven low. The action of the SDA being driven
low while SCL is high is the Start condition and causes
the S bit (SSPSTAT<3>) to be set. Following this, the
Baud Rate Generator is reloaded with the contents of
SSPADD<6:0> and resumes its count. When the Baud
Rate Generator times out (T
BRG
), the SEN bit
(SSPCON2<0>) will be automatically cleared by
hardware, the Baud Rate Generator is suspended,
leaving the SDA line held low and the Start condition is
complete. 
 
19.4.8.1
WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Start sequence
is in progress, the WCOL bit is set and the contents of
the buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).    
FIGURE 19-21:
FIRST START BIT TIMING        
Note:
If, at the beginning of the Start condition,
the SDA and SCL pins are already sam-
pled low, or if during the Start condition, the
SCL line is sampled low before the SDA
line is driven low, a bus collision occurs,
the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLIF, is
set, the Start condition is aborted and the
I

C module is reset into its Idle state.
Note:
Because queueing of events is not
allowed, writing to the lower five bits of
SSPCON2 is disabled until the Start
condition is complete.
