implementation to confirm system functionality.

9.1 Application Information

9.1.1 I2C Bus Overview

The inter-integrated circuit (I2C) bus is a single-ended, multi-master, 2-wire bus for efficient inter-IC

communication in half-duplex mode.

I2C uses open-drain technology, requiring two lines, serial data (SDA) and serial clock (SCL), to be connected

to VDD by resistors (see Figure 9-1). Pulling the line to ground is considered a logic zero while letting the line

float is a logic one. This logic is used as a channel access method. Transitions of logic states must occur while

the SCL pin is low. Transitions while the SCL pin is high indicate START and STOP conditions. Typical supply

voltages are 3.3 V and 5 V, although systems with higher or lower voltages are allowed.

Figure 9-1. I2C Bus

I2C communication uses a 7-bit address space with 16 reserved addresses, so a theoretical maximum of 112

nodes can communicate on the same bus. In practice, however, the number of nodes is limited by the specified,

total bus capacitance of 400 pF, which also restricts communication distances to a few meters.

The specified signaling rates for the ISO164x devices are 100 kbps (standard mode), 400 kbps (fast mode), 1.7

Mbps (fast mode plus).

The bus has two roles for nodes: master and slave. A master node issues the clock and slave addresses,

and also initiates and ends data transactions. A slave node receives the clock and addresses and responds to

requests from the master. Figure 9-2 shows a typical data transfer between master and slave.
