The 4-bit counter can be both read and written via the data bus, and it can generate an overflow

interrupt. The data register and the counter are clocked simultaneously by the same clock

source, allowing the counter to count the number of bits received or transmitted and generate an

interrupt when the transfer is complete. Note that when an external clock source is selected the

counter counts both clock edges. In this case the counter counts the number of edges, and not

the number of bits. The clock can be selected from three different sources: The USCK pin, the

Timer/Counter0 Compare Match or from software.

The Two-wire clock control unit can generate an interrupt when a start condition is detected on

the Two-wire bus. It can also generate wait states by holding the clock pin low after a start con-

dition is detected, or after the counter overflows.

13.3 Functional Descriptions

13.3.1

Three-wire Mode

The USI Three-wire mode is compliant to the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) mode 0 and 1, but

does not have the slave select (SS) pin functionality. However, this feature can be implemented

in software if necessary. Pin names used by this mode are: DI, DO, and USCK.

Figure 13-2. Three-wire Mode Operation, Simplified Diagram

Figure 13-2 shows two USI units operating in three-wire mode, one as Master and one as Slave.

The two USI Data Register are interconnected in such way that after eight USCK clocks, the

data in each register are interchanged. The same clock also increments the USI’s 4-bit counter.

The Counter Overflow (interrupt) Flag, or USIOIF, can therefore be used to determine when a

transfer is completed. The clock is generated by the Master device software by toggling the

USCK pin via the PORT Register or by writing a one to the USITC bit in USICR.
