Overview of the TWI Module
ATmega48/88/168
SCL and SDA Pins
Bit Rate Generator Unit
The TWI module is comprised of several submodules, as shown in
drawn in a thick line are accessible through the AVR data bus.
Figure 20-9. Overview of the TWI Module
These pins interface the AVR TWI with the rest of the MCU system. The output drivers contain a
slew-rate limiter in order to conform to the TWI specification. The input stages contain a spike
suppression unit removing spikes shorter than 50 ns. Note that the internal pull-ups in the AVR
pads can be enabled by setting the PORT bits corresponding to the SCL and SDA pins, as
explained in the I/O Port section. The internal pull-ups can in some systems eliminate the need
for external ones.
This unit controls the period of SCL when operating in a Master mode. The SCL period is con-
trolled by settings in the TWI Bit Rate Register (TWBR) and the Prescaler bits in the TWI Status
Register (TWSR). Slave operation does not depend on Bit Rate or Prescaler settings, but the
CPU clock frequency in the Slave must be at least 16 times higher than the SCL frequency. Note
