Figure 21-18. Formats and states in the Slave Transmitter mode
21.7.5 Miscellaneous States
There are two status codes that do not correspond to a defined TWI state, see Table 21-7.
Status 0xF8 indicates that no relevant information is available because the TWINT Flag is not set. This occurs
between other states, and when the TWI is not involved in a serial transfer.
Status 0x00 indicates that a bus error has occurred during a two-wire Serial Bus transfer. A bus error occurs
when a START or STOP condition occurs at an illegal position in the format frame. Examples of such illegal
positions are during the serial transfer of an address byte, a data byte, or an acknowledge bit. When a bus error
occurs, TWINT is set. To recover from a bus error, the TWSTO Flag must set and TWINT must be cleared by
