Functional Description
21-8 ADSP-214xx SHARC Processor Hardware Reference
The TWI controller’s clock output follows these rules:
• Once the clock high (
CLKHI
) count is complete, the serial clock out-
put is driven low and the clock low (
CLKLOW
) count begins.
• Once the clock low count is complete, the serial clock line is
three-stated and the clock synchronization logic enters into a delay
mode (shaded area) until the
TWI_CLOCK
line is detected at a logic 1
level. At this time, the clock high count begins.
The TWI controller only issues a clock during master mode operation and
only at the time a transfer has been initiated. If arbitration for the bus is
lost, the serial clock output immediately three-states. If multiple clocks
attempt to drive the serial clock line, the TWI controller synchronizes its
clock with the other remaining clocks. This is illustrated in
Figure 21-2 .
The TWI controller follows the transfer protocol of the Philips I
2
C Bus
Specification version 2.1 dated January 2000. A simple complete transfer is
diagrammed in Figure 21-3 .
