is only the physical layer that is shown since the system operation is highly dependent of the
communication scheme used. The main differences between the master and slave operation at
this level is the serial clock generation which is always done by the master. Only the slave uses
the clock control unit.
Clock generation must be implemented in software, but the shift operation is done automatically
in both devices. Note that clocking only on negative edges for shifting data is of practical use in
this mode. The slave can insert wait states at start or end of transfer by forcing the SCL clock
low. This means that the master must always check if the SCL line was actually released after it
has generated a positive edge.
Since the clock also increments the counter, a counter overflow can be used to indicate that the
transfer is completed. The clock is generated by the master by toggling the USCK pin via the
PORTA register.
The data direction is not given by the physical layer. A protocol, like the one used by the TWI-
bus, must be implemented to control the data flow.

USI Data Register, or by setting the corresponding bit in the PORTA register to zero.

enabled. The start detector logic of the slave device (see

other tasks before setting up the USI Data Register to receive the address. This is done
by clearing the start condition flag and resetting the counter.
