In all sleep modes other than Idle mode, the clock system to the TWI is turned off. If the
TWEA bit is set, the interface can still acknowledge its own slave address or the general
call address by using the Two-wire Serial Bus clock as a clock source. The part will then
wake up from sleep and the TWI will hold the SCL clock will low during the wake up and
until the TWINT Flag is cleared (by writing it to one). Further data transmission will be
carried out as normal, with the AVR clocks running as normal. Observe that if the AVR is
set up with a long start-up time, the SCL line may be held low for a long time, blocking
other data transmissions.
Note that the Two-wire Serial Interface Data Register – TWDR does not reflect the last
byte present on the bus when waking up from these sleep modes.
