C MASTER MODE REPEATED 
START CONDITION TIMING
A Repeated Start condition (
) occurs when
the RSEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register is pro-
grammed high and the master state machine is no lon-
ger active. When the RSEN bit is set, the SCLx pin is
asserted low. When the SCLx pin is sampled low, the
Baud Rate Generator is loaded and begins counting.
The SDAx pin is released (brought high) for one Baud
Rate Generator count (T
BRG
). When the Baud Rate
Generator times out, if SDAx is sampled high, the SCLx
pin will be deasserted (brought high). When SCLx is
sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded
and begins counting. SDAx and SCLx must be sam-
pled high for one T
BRG
. This action is then followed by
assertion of the SDAx pin (SDAx = 0) for one T
BRG
while SCLx is high. SCLx is asserted low. Following
this, the RSEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register will be
automatically cleared and the Baud Rate Generator will
not be reloaded, leaving the SDAx pin held low. As
soon as a Start condition is detected on the SDAx and
SCLx pins, the S bit of the SSPxSTAT register will be
set. The SSPxIF bit will not be set until the Baud Rate
Generator has timed out.
FIGURE 15-27:
REPEAT START CONDITION WAVEFORM   
Note 1: If RSEN is programmed while any other
event is in progress, it will not take effect.
2: A bus collision during the Repeated Start
condition occurs if: 
• SDAx is sampled low when SCLx 
goes from low-to-high.
• SCLx goes low before SDAx is 
asserted low. This may indicate 
that another master is attempting to 
transmit a data ‘1’.
