Data Transfer and Frame Format

18.1.1

Transferring Bits

Each data bit transferred on the TWI bus is accompanied by a pulse on the clock line. The level

of the data line must be stable when the clock line is high. The only exception to this rule is for

generating start and stop conditions.

18.1.2

START and STOP Conditions

The Master initiates and terminates a data transmission. The transmission is initiated when the

Master issues a START condition on the bus, and it is terminated when the Master issues a

STOP condition. Between a START and a STOP condition, the bus is considered busy, and no

other Master should try to seize control of the bus. A special case occurs when a new START

condition is issued between a START and STOP condition. This is referred to as a REPEATED

START condition, and is used when the Master wishes to initiate a new transfer without relin-

quishing control of the bus. After a REPEATED START, the bus is considered busy until the next

STOP. This is identical to the START behavior, and therefore START is used to describe both

START and REPEATED START for the remainder of this data sheet, unless otherwise noted.

As depicted below, START and STOP conditions are signalled by changing the level of the SDA

line when the SCL line is high.

Address Packet Format

All address packets transmitted on the TWI bus are nine bits long, consisting of seven address

bits, one READ/WRITE control bit and an acknowledge bit. If the READ/WRITE bit is set, a read

operation is to be performed, otherwise a write operation should be performed. When a slave

recognizes that it is being addressed, it should acknowledge by pulling SDA low in the ninth SCL

(ACK) cycle. If the addressed Slave is busy, or for some other reason can not service the Mas-
