Multi-master
Systems and
Arbitration
2467V–AVR–02/11
If multiple masters are connected to the same bus, transmissions may be initiated simultane-
ously by one or more of them. The TWI standard ensures that such situations are handled in
such a way that one of the masters will be allowed to proceed with the transfer, and that no data
will be lost in the process. An example of an arbitration situation is depicted below, where two
masters are trying to transmit data to a slave receiver.
Figure 105. An Arbitration Example
Several different scenarios may arise during arbitration, as described below:
•
•
•
This is summarized in
Two or more masters are performing identical communication with the same slave. In this
case, neither the slave nor any of the masters will know about the bus contention.
Two or more masters are accessing the same slave with different data or direction bit. In this
case, arbitration will occur, either in the READ/WRITE bit or in the data bits. The masters
trying to output a one on SDA while another master outputs a zero will lose the arbitration.
Losing masters will switch to not addressed slave mode or wait until the bus is free and
transmit a new START condition, depending on application software action.
Two or more masters are accessing different slaves. In this case, arbitration will occur in the
SLA bits. Masters trying to output a one on SDA while another master outputs a zero will
lose the arbitration. Masters losing arbitration in SLA will switch to slave mode to check if
they are being addressed by the winning master. If addressed, they will switch to SR or ST
mode, depending on the value of the READ/WRITE bit. If they are not being addressed, they
will switch to not addressed slave mode or wait until the bus is free and transmit a new
START condition, depending on application software action.
