38.7 Functional Description
38.7.1 Transfer Format
The data put on the TWD line must be 8 bits long. Data is transferred MSB first; each byte must be followed by an
acknowledgement. The number of bytes per transfer is unlimited (see Figure 38-4).
Each transfer begins with a START condition and terminates with a STOP condition (see Figure 38-3).
 A high-to-low transition on the TWD line while TWCK is high defines the START condition.
 A low-to-high transition on the TWD line while TWCK is high defines a STOP condition.
