whether to ACK or NAK it. In normal operation of the TWIS, this is not possible because the con-
troller will automatically ACK the byte at about the same time as the RXRDY bit changes from
zero to one. Writing a one to the Stretch on Data Byte Received bit (CR.SODR) will stretch the
clock allowing the user to update CR.ACK bit before returning the desired value. After the last bit
in the data byte is received, the TWI bus clock is stretched, the received data byte is transferred
to the RHR register, and SR.BTF is set. At this time, the user can examine the received byte and
write the desired ACK or NACK value to CR.ACK. When the user clears SR.BTF, the desired
ACK value is transferred on the TWI bus. This makes it possible to look at the byte received,
determine if it is valid, and then decide to ACK or NAK it.

Using the Peripheral DMA Controller
The use of the Peripheral DMA Controller significantly reduces the CPU load. The user can set
up ring buffers for the Peripheral DMA Controller, containing data to transmit or free buffer space
to place received data. By initializing NBYTES to zero before a transfer, and writing a one to
CR.CUP, NBYTES is incremented by one each time a data has been transmitted or received.
This allows the user to detect how much data was actually transferred by the DMA system.
To assure correct behavior, respect the following programming sequences:
28.8.7.1
Data Transmit with the Peripheral DMA Controller
1. Initialize the transmit Peripheral DMA Controller (memory pointers, size, etc.).
2. Configure the TWIS (ADR, NBYTES, etc.).
3. Start the transfer by enabling the Peripheral DMA Controller to transmit.
4. Wait for the Peripheral DMA Controller end-of-transmit flag.
5. Disable the Peripheral DMA Controller.
28.8.7.2
Data Receive with the Peripheral DMA Controller
1. Initialize the receive Peripheral DMA Controller (memory pointers, size - 1, etc.).
2. Configure the TWIS (ADR, NBYTES, etc.).
3. Start the transfer by enabling the Peripheral DMA Controller to receive.
4. Wait for the Peripheral DMA Controller end-of-receive flag.
5. Disable the Peripheral DMA Controller.
28.8.8
SMBus Mode
SMBus mode is enabled by writing a one to the SMBus Mode Enable (SMEN) bit in CR. SMBus
mode operation is similar to I²C operation with the following exceptions:
• Only 7-bit addressing can be used.
• The SMBus standard describes a set of timeout values to ensure progress and throughput on
the bus. These timeout values must be written to TR.
• Transmissions can optionally include a CRC byte, called Packet Error Check (PEC).
• A set of addresses have been reserved for protocol handling, such as Alert Response
Address (ARA) and Host Header (HH) Address. Address matching on these addresses can
be enabled by configuring CR appropriately.
28.8.8.1
Packet Error Checking (PEC)
Each SMBus transfer can optionally end with a CRC byte, called the PEC byte. Writing a one to
the Packet Error Checking Enable (PECEN) bit in CR enables automatic PEC handling in the
