Description
Ultibo I2C interface unit
I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) is a serial bus for communication between peripheral components.
Originally invented by Phillips the I2C protocol is used by thousands of common chips that perform a wide range of tasks such as real time clocks, temperature and other sensors, small LCD displays and many more.
Each device is assigned a 7bit address which is used by the host (or master) to signal the device that a message written to the bus is intended for that device or that the host wants to read data from that device.
Speeds range from 10Kbps to 3.4Mbps although the typical speed is either 100Kbps or 400Kbps.
This unit implements the standardized interface for I2C devices and allows reading or writing to a specific address, setting a clock rate for the communication and determining device properties.
For the purpose of this interface a device is the I2C controller attached to the local system and may be either a master or a slave. Since the protocol does not include any form of enumeration or identification the interface does not attempt to represent the devices connected to the bus,any driver written to communicate with a connected I2C device should know (or allow configuration of) the address to read and write to and the specific message format required for that device. The Intel System Management Bus (SMBus) is a variation of the I2C bus and in certain cases the two are compatible with each other.
