When using the I2C bus protocol, the designer must ensure that the hardware complies with the I2C standard. This application report describes the I2C protocol and provides guidelines on debugging a ...

I2C is a two wire, clock synchronized protocol with a bi directional data line and a uni directional clock line. Its simplicity lies in its use of only two lines for communication and its complexity ...

A lot of great ICs use I2C to communicate, but debugging a non-working I2C setup can be opaque, especially if you’re just getting started with the protocol/bus. An I2C bus scanner can be a helpful ...

Serial data buses are critical components of many electronic designs. Debugging and troubleshooting the data bus is key to making sure these designs perform as desired. Often, protocol analyzers are ...

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 ...

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, ...

Mobile handsets today contain a growing number of devices because customers continue to demand new types of applications and features. Both low- and high-end devices now include such integrated ...

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 ...
