If you’ve ever been laying out a network I2C devices inside a project box or throughout your robot’s body, you’ll probably know that I2C is not without its pitfalls. But for many of those pitfalls, ...

When an air quality display project needed a display, [Inderpreet] looked into small character-based LCDs. [Inderpreet’s] chosen LCD used an I2C interface, which was new to him. Rather than shy away, ...

NXP Semiconductors’ family of level shifting bus buffers are detailed in this application note that discusses device operation, maximum cable length and frequency ...

The I2C Bus – From Humble Beginnings to New Uses The simplicity and low cost of the I2C bus has enticed electronic engineers to find more uses for the two-wire Inter-Integrated-Circuit protocol, and ...

The fundamentals of the Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) interface, and its associated protocol. What made this simple, robust, chip-to-chip interface so useful for embedded system applications? How the ...

The circuit shown can be used to interface multiple serial devices to the I2C bus, even if they lack the extended-addressing capability required. Information transfer be-tween I2C devices connected to ...

The EEPROM, ADC and RTC will require an interface for communication between them. Due to that I2C bus is used as an interface between EPROM, ADC and RTC. It is used to minimize system-level ...

Conclusion I2C bus communication is a popular element of many embedded designs.Every embedded design can benefit from offloading some functions to I2Cslaves, both for efficiency and for potential for ...

Maxim has introduced a chip to interface devices equipped with I2C or SPI bus connections to its ‘1-wire’ bus. Called DS28E18, it is intended to knock cost out of networks that connecting I2C and SPI ...

In the 2.5 Linux kernel development series, a unified device driver model framework was created by Pat Mochel. This framework consists of a number of common structures and functions all device driver ...
