To calculate bit rates, see Section 19.5.2 “Bit Rate Generator Unit” on page 181. The value of TWPS1..0 is used in the
equation.
19.6.4 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 constitute the next data byte to be transmitted, or the latest data byte received on the 2-wire serial bus.
19.6.5 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, and not needed in the master modes. In multi master
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 (0x00). 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.
• Bit 0 – TWGCE: TWI General Call Recognition Enable Bit
If set, this bit enables the recognition of a general call given over the 2-wire serial bus.
