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, ...

When looking at protocol information on a bus, an oscilloscope may not be the first instrument to come to mind�until now. As most engineers know, digital oscilloscopes are an indispensable ...

The MAX77714 features a revision 4.0 I2C-compatible, 2-wire serial interface consisting of a bidirectional serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). As shown in the Simplified Block ...

The 24XXX series serial EEPROMs from Microchip Technology support a bidirectional, 2-wire bus and data transmission protocol. The bus is controlled by the microcontroller (master), which generates the ...

We’re always excited to get a new chip or SIM card to interface, but our enthusiasm is often dampened by the prototyping process. Interfacing any chip usually means breadboarding a circuit, writing ...

An Inter-IC bus is often used to communicate across circuit-board distances. Here’s a primer on the protocol. At the low end of the spectrum of communication options for “inside the box” communication ...

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 ...
