24.8.5. TWAR – TWI (Slave) Address Register
When using the I/O specific commands IN and OUT, the I/O addresses 0x00 - 0x3F must be used. When
addressing I/O Registers as data space using LD and ST instructions, 0x20 must be added to these offset
addresses.
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 multimaster 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 – TWAn: TWI (Slave) Address [n = 6:0]
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 Two-wire Serial Bus.
