- Support for 8-bit format transfers
- 7-bit and 10-bit addressing modes
- General call
- START byte mode
- Support for multiple master-transmitters and slave-receivers
- Support for multiple slave-transmitters and master-receivers
- Combined master transmit/receive and receive/transmit mode
- Data transfer rate from 10 kbps up to 400 kbps (Fast-mode)
- One 16-byte receive FIFO and one 16-byte transmit FIFO
- Supports two ePIE interrupts
- I2Cx interrupt – Any of the below conditions can be configured to generate an I2Cx interrupt:
- Transmit Ready
