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, ...

Inexpensive OLED displays with I2C interfaces abound, but there is a catch: they tend to be stuck on I2C address 0x3C. Some have a jumper or solder pads to select an alternate (usually 0x3D), but they ...

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

This dual bidirectional I2C buffer is operational at 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The TCA9517 is a BiCMOS integrated circuit intended for I2C bus and SMBus systems. It can provide ...

Bytom -- April 2, 2013-- Digital Core Design, an IP Core and System on Chip design house from Poland, has introduced its newest I2C Bus Interface soft core. It is fully compatible with Philips v. 3.0 ...

NXP Semiconductors has introduced its first no-offset I2C-bus buffers, which are designed to isolate capacitance and so allow interface with other bus buffers. Significantly, the bus buffers use the ...

In my last column [LJ, December 2003], we discussed how I2C bus drivers and I2C algorithm drivers work. We also described how to make a tiny dummy I2C bus driver. This month, we discuss how an I2C ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
