This Technical Note describes the hardware slave and software master implementation of an I2C (inter integrated circuit) compatible interface using the MicroConverter. This technical Note also contains example code showing how a master and a slave can communicate with each other using the MicroConverter I2C compatible interface.
I2C is a two-wire serial communication system developed by Philips, which allows multiple masters and multiple slaves to be connected via two wires (SCLOCK and SDATA). In an I2 C interface there must be at least a single master and a single slave. The SCLOCK signal controls the data transfer between master and slave. The SCLOCK signal is always transmitted from the Master to the Slave.
