#159128 - TWI is a very common "generic" name for I2C-compat
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Erik Malund said:
PS how did you come up with TWI (never heard it before) for IIC?

It is as Per says - the name "IIC" (or "I2C" or "I2C") is owned by NXP (founded by Philips), and they place strict requirements on use of the name.

Therefore many 3rd-parties simply avoid the name "IIC", and use something generic like "TWI" instead.
