TWI is Speed Limited in Slave Mode
In this device, some instructions are not interruptable, and will cause the interrupt
latency to increase. The only practical problem concerns a loop followed by a two-
word instruction while waiting for an interrupt. The loop may consist of a branch
instruction or an absolute or relative jump back to itself like this:
loop: rjmp loop
<Two-word instruction>
In this case, a dead-lock situation arises.
Problem Fix/Workaround
In assembly, insert a nop instruction immediately after a loop to itself. The problem
will normally be detected during development. In C, the only construct that will give
this problem is an empty “for” loop; “for(;;)”. Use “while(1)” or “do{} while (1)” to avoid
the problem.
TWI Power-down operation may be aborted by other interrupts. If an interrupt (e.g.,
INT0) occurs during TWI Power-down address watch and wakes the CPU up, the
TWI aborts operation and returns to its idle state.
Problem Fix/Workaround
Ensure that the TWI Address Match is the only enabled interrupt when entering
Power-down.
When the part operates as Master, and the bus is idle (SDA = 1; SCL = 1), generat-
ing a short spike on SDA (SDA = 0 for a short interval), no interrupt is generated,
and the status code is still $F8 (idle). But when the software initiates a new start
condition and clears TWINT, nothing happens on SDA or SCL, and TWINT is never
set again.
Problem Fix/Workaround
Either of the following:
1. Ensure that no spikes occur on SDA or SCL lines.
2. Receiving a valid START condition followed by a STOP condition provokes a
