General TWI Bus Concepts
It is possible to disable the internal TWI drivers in the device, and enabling a 4-wire interface for
connecting external bus drivers.
The Two-Wire Interface (TWI) provides a simple two-wire bi-directional bus consisting of a serial
clock line (SCL) and a serial data line (SDA). The two lines are open collector lines (wired-AND),
and pull-up resistors (Rp) are the only external components needed to drive the bus. The pull-up
resistors will provide a high level on the lines when none of the connected devices are driving
the bus. A constant current source can be used as an alternative to the pull-up resistors.
The TWI bus is a simple and efficient method of interconnecting multiple devices on a serial bus.
A device connected to the bus can be a master or slave, where the master controls the bus and
all communication.

Figure 19-1. TWI Bus Topology
A unique address is assigned to all slave devices connected to the bus, and the master will use
this to address a slave and initiate a data transaction. 7-bit or 10-bit addressing can be used.
Several masters can be connected to the same bus, and this is called a multi-master environ-
ment. An arbitration mechanism is provided for resolving bus ownership between masters since
only one master device may own the bus at any given time.
A device can contain both master and slave logic, and can emulate multiple slave devices by
responding to more than one address.
A master indicates the start of transaction by issuing a START condition (S) on the bus. An
address packet with a slave address (ADDRESS) and an indication whether the master wishes
to read or write data (R/W), is then sent. After all data packets (DATA) are transferred, the mas-
ter issues a STOP condition (P) on the bus to end the transaction. The receiver must
acknowledge (A) or not-acknowledge (A) each byte received.
