2486AA–AVR–02/2013
ATmega8(L)
In all sleep modes other than Idle mode, the clock system to the TWI is turned off. If the TWEA
bit is set, the interface can still acknowledge its own slave address or the general call address by
using the Two-wire Serial Bus clock as a clock source. The part will then wake up from sleep
and the TWI will hold the SCL clock will low during the wake up and until the TWINT Flag is
cleared (by writing it to one). Further data transmission will be carried out as normal, with the
AVR clocks running as normal. Observe that if the AVR is set up with a long start-up time, the
SCL line may be held low for a long time, blocking other data transmissions.
Note that the Two-wire Serial Interface Data Register – TWDR does not reflect the last byte
present on the bus when waking up from these sleep modes.
