2-wire Serial Interface Bus Definition

The 2-wire Serial Interface (TWI) is ideally suited for typical microcontroller applications. The

TWI protocol allows the systems designer to interconnect up to 128 different devices using only

two bi-directional bus lines, one for clock (SCL) and one for data (SDA). The only external hard-

ware needed to implement the bus is a single pull-up resistor for each of the TWI bus lines. All

devices connected to the bus have individual addresses, and mechanisms for resolving bus

contention are inherent in the TWI protocol.
