Multi-master Bus Systems, Arbitration and Synchronization
The TWI protocol allows bus systems with several masters. Special concerns have been taken in order to 
ensure that transmissions will proceed as normal, even if two or more masters initiate a transmission at the 
same time. Two problems arise in multi-master systems:
An algorithm must be implemented allowing only one of the masters to complete the transmission. All 
other masters should cease transmission when they discover that they have lost the selection process. 
This selection process is called arbitration. When a contending master discovers that it has lost the 
arbitration process, it should immediately switch to Slave mode to check whether it is being addressed by 
the winning master. The fact that multiple masters have started transmission at the same time should not 
be detectable to the slaves, i.e. the data being transferred on the bus must not be corrupted. 
Different masters may use different SCL frequencies. A scheme must be devised to synchronize the serial 
clocks from all masters, in order to let the transmission proceed in a lockstep fashion. This will facilitate 
the arbitration process.
The wired-ANDing of the bus lines is used to solve both these problems. The serial clocks from all masters will 
be wired-ANDed, yielding a combined clock with a high period equal to the one from the Master with the 
shortest high period. The low period of the combined clock is equal to the low period of the Master with the 
longest low period. Note that all masters listen to the SCL line, effectively starting to count their SCL high and 
low time-out periods when the combined SCL line goes high or low, respectively.
