15.7.6. Programming Model

The following flowchart illustrates the recommended programming flow for the core.

Figure 54. Programming Model Flowchart
Note: When either ARBLOST_DET or NACK_DET occur, you need to clear its respective interrupt status register bits in their error handling procedure before continuing with a new I2C transfer. A new I2C transfer can be initiated with or without disabling the core.
