I2C Protocol
Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) is a widely-used serial communication protocol designed for connecting low-speed peripherals to processors and microcontrollers. Originally developed by Philips Semiconductor (now NXP Semiconductors), I2C has become a standard in embedded systems for its simplicity, efficiency, and ability to connect multiple devices on a single bus.
I2C uses a two-wire interface consisting of a Serial Data Line (SDA) and a Serial Clock Line (SCL), allowing multiple devices to communicate on the same bus. The protocol supports both 7-bit and 10-bit addressing schemes, making it ideal for connecting sensors, EEPROMs, real-time clocks, and other peripheral devices to microcontrollers.
Our USB host adapters provide comprehensive I2C support, enabling you to communicate with I2C devices, debug I2C buses, and develop firmware for I2C-based systems. Whether you're working with standard-speed (100 kHz), fast-mode (400 kHz), or fast-mode plus (1 MHz) I2C devices, our tools provide the flexibility and control you need.
