Bus error due to an illegal

Figure 85. Formats and States in the Slave Transmitter Mode
There are two status codes that do not correspond to a defined TWI state, see Table 70.
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 trans-
fer. 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 writing a logic one to it. This causes the TWI to enter the not addressed Slave mode
and to clear the TWSTO Flag (no other bits in TWCR are affected). The SDA and SCL
lines are released, and no STOP condition is transmitted.

Only the internal hardware is affected, no STOP condi-
tion is sent on the bus. In all cases, the bus is released
and TWSTO is cleared.

This number (contained in TWSR) corresponds
to a defined state of the Two-Wire Serial Bus. The
