mode, enabling the MCU to wake up if addressed by a Master. If another interrupt (e.g., INT0)

occurs during TWI Power-down address match and wakes up the CPU, the TWI aborts opera-

tion and return to it’s idle state. If this cause any problems, ensure that TWI Address Match is the

only enabled interrupt when entering Power-down.

Control Unit

The Control unit monitors the TWI bus and generates responses corresponding to settings in the

TWI Control Register (TWCR). When an event requiring the attention of the application occurs

on the TWI bus, the TWI Interrupt Flag (TWINT) is asserted. In the next clock cycle, the TWI Sta-

tus Register (TWSR) is updated with a status code identifying the event. The TWSR only

contains relevant status information when the TWI Interrupt Flag is asserted. At all other times,

the TWSR contains a special status code indicating that no relevant status information is avail-

able. As long as the TWINT Flag is set, the SCL line is held low. This allows the application

software to complete its tasks before allowing the TWI transmission to continue.

The TWINT Flag is set in the following situations:

• After the TWI has transmitted a START/REPEATED START condition.

• After the TWI has transmitted SLA+R/W.

• After the TWI has transmitted an address byte.

• After the TWI has lost arbitration.

• After the TWI has been addressed by own slave address or general call.

• After the TWI has received a data byte.

• After a STOP or REPEATED START has been received while still addressed as a Slave.

• When a bus error has occurred due to an illegal START or STOP condition.

15.6

Using the TWI

The AVR TWI is byte-oriented and interrupt based. Interrupts are issued after all bus events, like

reception of a byte or transmission of a START condition. Because the TWI is interrupt-based,

the application software is free to carry on other operations during a TWI byte transfer. Note that

the TWI Interrupt Enable (TWIE) bit in TWCR together with the Global Interrupt Enable bit in

SREG allow the application to decide whether or not assertion of the TWINT Flag should gener-

ate an interrupt request. If the TWIE bit is cleared, the application must poll the TWINT Flag in

order to detect actions on the TWI bus.

When the TWINT Flag is asserted, the TWI has finished an operation and awaits application

response. In this case, the TWI Status Register (TWSR) contains a value indicating the current

state of the TWI bus. The application software can then decide how the TWI should behave in

the next TWI bus cycle by manipulating the TWCR and TWDR Registers.

Figure 15-10 is a simple example of how the application can interface to the TWI hardware. In

this example, a Master wishes to transmit a single data byte to a Slave. This description is quite

abstract, a more detailed explanation follows later in this section. A simple code example imple-

menting the desired behavior is also presented.
