Figure 78. Data Transfer in Master Transmitter Mode
A START condition is sent by writing the following value to TWCR:
TWEN must be set to enable the Two-wire Serial Interface, TWSTA must be written to one to
transmit a START condition and TWINT must be written to one to clear the TWINT Flag. The
TWI will then test the Two-wire Serial Bus and generate a START condition as soon as the bus
becomes free. After a START condition has been transmitted, the TWINT Flag is set by hard-
ware, and the status code in TWSR will be 0x08 (see
MT mode, SLA+W must be transmitted. This is done by writing SLA+W to TWDR. Thereafter the
TWINT bit should be cleared (by writing it to one) to continue the transfer. This is accomplished
by writing the following value to TWCR:
When SLA+W have been transmitted and an acknowledgement bit has been received, TWINT is
set again and a number of status codes in TWSR are possible. Possible status codes in Master
mode are 0x18, 0x20, or 0x38. The appropriate action to be taken for each of these status codes
is detailed in
When SLA+W has been successfully transmitted, a data packet should be transmitted. This is
done by writing the data byte to TWDR. TWDR must only be written when TWINT is high. If not,
the access will be discarded, and the Write Collision bit (TWWC) will be set in the TWCR Regis-
ter. After updating TWDR, the TWINT bit should be cleared (by writing it to one) to continue the
transfer. This is accomplished by writing the following value to TWCR:
This scheme is repeated until the last byte has been sent and the transfer is ended by generat-
ing a STOP condition or a repeated START condition. A STOP condition is generated by writing
the following value to TWCR:
A REPEATED START condition is generated by writing the following value to TWCR:
After a repeated START condition (state 0x10) the Two-wire Serial Interface can access the
same Slave again, or a new Slave without transmitting a STOP condition. Repeated START
