• Bits 1..0 – TWPS: TWI Prescaler Bits
These bits can be read and written, and control the bit rate prescaler.
To calculate bit rates, see “Bit Rate Generator Unit” on page 173. The value of
TWPS1..0 is used in the equation.
TWI Data Register – TWDR
In Transmit mode, TWDR contains the next byte to be transmitted. In Receive mode, the
TWDR contains the last byte received. It is writable while the TWI is not in the process of
shifting a byte. This occurs when the TWI Interrupt Flag (TWINT) is set by hardware.
Note that the data register cannot be initialized by the user before the first interrupt
occurs. The data in TWDR remains stable as long as TWINT is set. While data is shifted
out, data on the bus is simultaneously shifted in. TWDR always contains the last byte
present on the bus, except after a wake up from a sleep mode by the TWI interrupt. In
this case, the contents of TWDR is undefined. In the case of a lost bus arbitration, no
data is lost in the transition from Master to Slave. Handling of the ACK bit is controlled
automatically by the TWI logic, the CPU cannot access the ACK bit directly.
• Bits 7..0 – TWD: TWI Data Register
These eight bits contin the next data byte to be transmitted, or the latest data byte
received on the Two-wire Serial Bus.
TWI (Slave) Address Register
– TWAR
The TWAR should be loaded with the 7-bit slave address (in the seven most significant
bits of TWAR) to which the TWI will respond when programmed as a slave transmitter or
receiver. In multimaster systems, TWAR must be set in masters which can be
addressed as slaves by other masters.
The LSB of TWAR is used to enable recognition of the general call address ($00). There
is an associated address comparator that looks for the slave address (or general call
address if enabled) in the received serial address. If a match is found, an interrupt
request is generated.
• Bits 7..1 – TWA: TWI (Slave) Address Register
These seven bits constitute the slave address of the TWI unit.
