Figure 39-8.  Master Write with One Byte Internal Address and Multiple Data Bytes
39.8.5  Master Receiver Mode
The read sequence begins by setting the START bit. After the start condition has been sent, the master sends a 7-bit
slave address to notify the slave device. The bit following the slave address indicates the transfer direction, 1 in this case
(MREAD = 1 in TWI_MMR). During the acknowledge clock pulse (9th pulse), the master releases the data line (HIGH),
enabling the slave to pull it down in order to generate the acknowledge. The master polls the data line during this clock
pulse and sets the NACK bit in the status register if the slave does not acknowledge the byte.
If an acknowledge is received, the master is then ready to receive data from the slave. After data has been received, the
master sends an acknowledge condition to notify the slave that the data has been received except for the last data, after
the stop condition. See 
. When the RXRDY bit is set in the status register, a character has been received in
the receive-holding register (TWI_RHR). The RXRDY bit is reset when reading the TWI_RHR.
When a single data byte read is performed, with or without internal address (IADR), the START and STOP bits must be
set at the same time. See 
. When a multiple data byte read is performed, with or without internal address
(IADR), the STOP bit must be set after the next-to-last data received. See 
. For Internal Address usage see
If the receive holding register (TWI_RHR) is full (RXRDY high) and the master is receiving data, the Serial Clock Line will
be tied low before receiving the last bit of the data and until the TWI_RHR is read. Once the TWI_RHR is read, the
master will stop stretching the Serial Clock Line and end the data reception. See 
.
Warning: When receiving multiple bytes in master read mode, if the next-to-last access is not read (the RXRDY flag
remains high), the last access will not be completed until TWI_RHR is read. The last access stops on the next-to-last bit
(clock stretching). When the TWI_RHR is read there is only half a bit period to send the stop bit command, else another
read access might occur (spurious access). 
A possible workaround is to raise the STOP BIT command before reading the TWI_RHR on the next-to-last access
(within IT handler).
