Figure 21-13. Data transfer in Master Receiver mode.
A START condition is sent by writing the following value to TWCR:
TWEN must be written to one to enable the two-wire Serial Interface, TWSTA must be written to
one to transmit a START condition and TWINT must be set 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-
MR mode, SLA+R must be transmitted. This is done by writing SLA+R 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+R 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 0x38, 0x40, or 0x48. The appropriate action to be taken for each of these status codes
when the TWINT Flag is set high by hardware. This scheme is repeated until the last byte has
been received. After the last byte has been received, the MR should inform the ST by sending a
NACK after the last received data byte. The transfer is ended by generating 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
