Figure 14-4. Two-wire Mode Operation, Simplified Diagram
The data direction is not given by the physical layer. A protocol, like the one used by the TWI-
bus, must be implemented to control the data flow.
Figure 14-5. Two-wire Mode, Typical Timing Diagram
Referring to the timing diagram ( Figure 14-5 ), a bus transfer involves the following steps:
1. The start condition is generated by the master by forcing the SDA low line while keep-
ing the SCL line high (A). SDA can be forced low either by writing a zero to bit 7 of the
USI Data Register, or by setting the corresponding bit in the PORTA register to zero.
Note that the Data Direction Register bit must be set to one for the output to be
enabled. The start detector logic of the slave device (see
Figure 14-6 on page 106 )
