In I²C mode:

• The address in CR.ADR is checked for address match if CR.SMATCH is one.

• The General Call address is checked for address match if CR.GCMATCH is one.

In SMBus mode:

• The address in CR.ADR is checked for address match if CR.SMATCH is one.

• The Alert Response Address is checked for address match if CR.SMAL is one.

• The Default Address is checked for address match if CR.SMDA is one.

• The Host Header Address is checked for address match if CR.SMHH is one.

Any slave or bus master taking part in a transfer may extend the TWCK low period at any time.
The TWIS may extend the TWCK low period after each byte transfer if CR.STREN is one and:

• Module is in slave transmitter mode, data should be transmitted, but THR is empty, or

• Module is in slave receiver mode, a byte has been received and placed into the internal 

shifter, but the Receive Holding Register (RHR) is full, or

• Stretch-on-address-match bit CR.SOAM=1 and slave was addressed. Bus clock remains 

stretched until all address match bits in the Status Register (SR) have been cleared.

If CR.STREN is zero and:

• Module is in slave transmitter mode, data should be transmitted but THR is empty: Transmit 

the value present in THR (the last transmitted byte or reset value), and set SR.URUN.

• Module is in slave receiver mode, a byte has been received and placed into the internal 

shifter, but RHR is full: Discard the received byte and set SR.ORUN.

If a bus error (misplaced START or STOP) condition is detected, the SR.BUSERR bit is set and
the TWIS waits for a new START condition.

If the TWIS matches an address in which the R/W bit in the TWI address phase transfer is set, it
will enter slave transmitter mode and set the SR.TRA bit (note that SR.TRA is set one
CLK_TWIS cycle after the relevant address match bit in the same register is set).

After the address phase, the following actions are performed:

1.

If SMBus mode and PEC is used, NBYTES must be set up with the number of bytes to 
transmit. This is necessary in order to know when to transmit the PEC byte. NBYTES 
can also be used to count the number of bytes received if using DMA.

2.

Byte to transmit depends on I²C/SMBus mode and CR.PEC:

– If in I²C mode or CR.PEC is zero or NBYTES is non-zero: The TWIS waits until THR 

contains a valid data byte, possibly stretching the low period of TWCK. After THR 
contains a valid data byte, the data byte is transferred to a shifter, and then 
SR.TXRDY is changed to one because the THR is empty again.

– SMBus mode and CR.PEC is one: If NBYTES is zero, the generated PEC byte is 

automatically transmitted instead of a data byte from THR. TWCK will not be 
stretched by the TWIS.

3.

The data byte in the shifter is transmitted.
