TWEN must be written to one to enable the TWI. The AA bit must be written to one to enable the
acknowledgment of the device’s own slave address or the genera l call address. STA and STO
must be written to zero.
When TWAR and TWCR have been initialized, the TWI waits until it is addressed by its own
slave address (or the general call address if enabled) followed by the da ta direction bit. If the
direction bit is
“0” (write), the TWI will operate in SR mode, otherwise ST mode is entered. After
its own slave address a nd the write bit have been received, the TWIF flag is set and a valid sta-
tus code can be read from TWSR. The status code is used to determine the appropriate
software action. The appropriate action to be taken for each status code is detailed in Tab
le 18-
8. The Slave Receiver mode may also be entered if arbitration is lost while the TWI is in the Mas-
ter mode (see states 68h and 78h).
If the AA b it is reset during a transfer, the TWI will return a “Not Acknowledge” (“1”) to SDA after
the next received data byte. This can be used to indicate that the slave is not able to receive any
more byte
s. While AA is zero, the TWI does not acknowledge its own slave address. However,
the Two-wire Serial Bus is still monitored and address recognition may resume at any time by
setting AA. This implies that the AA bit may be used to temporarily isolate the TWI from the Two-
wire Serial Bus.
