Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C)
46.1 Introduction
NOTE
For the chip-specific implementation details of this module's
instances, see the chip configuration information.
The inter-integrated circuit (I
2
C, I2C, or IIC) module provides a method of
communication between a number of devices.
The interface is designed to operate up to 100 kbit/s with maximum bus loading and
timing. The I2C device is capable of operating at higher baud rates, up to a maximum of
clock/20, with reduced bus loading. The maximum communication length and the
number of devices that can be connected are limited by a maximum bus capacitance of
400 pF. The I2C module also complies with the System Management Bus (SMBus)
Specification, version 2.
