ATmega8535(L)
This unit controls the period of SCL when operating in a Master mode. The SCL period
is controlled by settings in the TWI Bit Rate Register (TWBR) and the Prescaler bits in
the TWI Status Register (TWSR). Slave operation does not depend on Bit Rate or Pres-
caler settings, but the CPU clock frequency in the Slave must be at least 16 times higher
than the SCL frequency. Note that slaves may prolong the SCL low period, thereby
reducing the average TWI bus clock period. The SCL frequency is generated according
to the following equation:

Note:
This unit contains the Data and Address Shift Register (TWDR), a START/STOP Con-
troller and Arbitration detection hardware. The TWDR contains the address or data
bytes to be transmitted, or the address or data bytes received. In addition to the 8-bit
TWDR, the Bus Interface Unit also contains a register containing the (N)ACK bit to be
transmitted or received. This (N)ACK Register is not directly accessible by the applica-
tion software. However, when receiving, it can be set or cleared by manipulating the
TWI Control Register (TWCR). When in Transmitter mode, the value of the received
(N)ACK bit can be determined by the value in the TWSR.
The START/STOP Controller is responsible for generation and detection of START,
REPEATED START, and STOP conditions. The START/STOP controller is able to
detect START and STOP conditions even when the AVR MCU is in one of the sleep
modes, enabling the MCU to wake up if addressed by a Master.
If the TWI has initiated a transmission as Master, the Arbitration Detection hardware
continuously monitors the transmission trying to determine if arbitration is in process. If
the TWI has lost an arbitration, the Control Unit is informed. Correct action can then be
taken and appropriate status codes generated.
The Address Match unit checks if received address bytes match the 7-bit address in the
TWI Address Register (TWAR). If the TWI General Call Recognition Enable (TWGCE)
bit in the TWAR is written to one, all incoming address bits will also be compared
against the General Call address. Upon an address match, the Control Unit is informed,
allowing correct action to be taken. The TWI may or may not acknowledge its address,
depending on settings in the TWCR. The Address Match unit is able to compare
addresses even when the AVR MCU is in sleep mode, enabling the MCU to wake up if
addressed by a Master.
The Control unit monitors the TWI bus and generates responses corresponding to set-
tings 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 Status Register (TWSR) is updated with a status code identify-
ing 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 available. 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:
TWBR = Value of the TWI Bit Rate Register
TWPS = Value of the prescaler bits in the TWI Status Register
Pull-up resistor values should be selected according to the SCL frequency and the
capacitive bus line load. See Table 112 on page 259 for value of pull-up resistor.
