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, ...

You only really need two data wires to transfer a ton of data. Standards like UART, USB2, I2C, SPI, PS/2, CAN, RS232, SWD (an interface to program MCUs), RS485, DMX, and many others, all are a ...

I2C is a two-wire communication protocol known for its simplicity. Despite this reputation, I2C does have its challenges: a limited number of bits for a unique address can create address conflicts, or ...

In the June and August 2003 issues of Linux Journal, my column covered the Linux kernel driver model, and the I2C subsystem was used as an example. This month, we discuss what the I2C subsystem does ...

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 ...

I2C is a two-wire, bidirectional bus protocol that enables effective communication between one master (or multiple masters) and one or more slave devices. It is a straightforward, half-Duplex, ...

The 24AA025E48 cascadable I2C serial EEPROM device features a preprogrammed EUI-48-node MAC address. The chip’s read current is 1 mA max and standby current is 1 µA max. The 2-Kbit device comes in ...
