BAUD RATE GENERATOR
In I2C Master mode, the reload value for the BRG is
located in the lower 7 bits of the SSPADD register
value, the BRG counts down to 0 and stops until
another reload has taken place. The BRG count is dec-
remented twice per instruction cycle (TCY) on the Q2
and Q4 clocks. In I2C Master mode, the BRG is
reloaded automatically. If Clock Arbitration is taking
place, for instance, the BRG will be reloaded when the
