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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

East Asia is expected to lead the global I2C Bus market, recording the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1% during the forecast period. This growth is driven by increased adoption of I2C ...

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 LTC4303 and LTC4304 two-wire bus buffers from Linear Technology solve the common problem of a stuck I 2 C/SMBus bus by isolating all of the bus connections on the upstream side, while restoring ...

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 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 ...
