Figure 16-4. Two-wire Mode Operation, Simplified Diagram
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.
Figure 16-5. Two-wire Mode, Typical Timing Diagram
Referring to the timing diagram (Figure 16-5), a bus transfer involves the following steps:
1. The start condition is generated by the master by forcing the SDA low line while keep-
ing the SCL line high (A). SDA can be forced low either by writing a zero to bit 7 of the
USI Data Register, or by setting the corresponding bit in the PORTA register to zero.
Note that the Data Direction Register bit must be set to one for the output to be
enabled. The start detector logic of the slave device (see Figure 16-6 on page 161)
detects the start condition and sets the USISIF Flag. The flag can generate an interrupt
if necessary.
2. In addition, the start detector will hold the SCL line low after the master has forced a
negative edge on this line (B). This allows the slave to wake up from sleep or complete
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.
