depicted below, START and STOP conditions are signalled by changing the level of the SDA

line when the SCL line is high.

Address Packet Format

All address packets transmitted on the TWI bus are 9 bits long, consisting of 7 address bits, one

READ/WRITE control bit and an acknowledge bit. If the READ/WRITE bit is set, a read opera-

tion is to be performed, otherwise a write operation should be performed. When a Slave

recognizes that it is being addressed, it should acknowledge by pulling SDA low in the ninth SCL

(ACK) cycle. If the addressed Slave is busy, or for some other reason can not service the Mas-

ter’s request, the SDA line should be left high in the ACK clock cycle. The Master can then

transmit a STOP condition, or a REPEATED START condition to initiate a new transmission. An

address packet consisting of a slave address and a READ or a WRITE bit is called SLA+R or

SLA+W, respectively.

Figure 15-4. Address Packet Format

The MSB of the address byte is transmitted first. Slave addresses can freely be allocated by the

designer, but the address 0000 000 is reserved for a general call.

When a general call is issued, all slaves should respond by pulling the SDA line low in the ACK

cycle. A general call is used when a Master wishes to transmit the same message to several

slaves in the system. When the general call address followed by a Write bit is transmitted on the

bus, all slaves set up to acknowledge the general call will pull the SDA line low in the ack cycle.

The following data packets will then be received by all the slaves that acknowledged the general
