I 2 C - Protocol IIC - Inter-Integrated Circuit g Logic Logic This means: • Decreased number of wires (reduced PCB area) • Reduced number of chip pins p p • Remove glue logic I 2 C-bus • Clip many devices on to the bus • Modular design: Time-to-Market V V CC Invented by NXP! (Philips Semiconductors) (Philips Semiconductors) I 2 C-bus developed in the late 1970’s for Philips consumer products (e.g. TVs) Worldwide industry standard and used by all major IC manufacturers Worldwide industry standard and used by all major IC manufacturers 3

I 2 C - Protocol Master Communication Slave Communication must start with: START condition Start bit is always followed by slave address Master or Slave Slave address is followed by a READ or NOT-WRITE bit Sl dd i f ll d b READ NOT WRITE bit The receiving device (either master or slave) must send an ACKNOWLEDGE bit Communication must start with: STOP condition SLAVE START R/W ACK DATA[8] ACK STOP ADDRESS[7] Example: Example: Transmit (0 = Write) SLAVE START 0 ACK DATA[8] ACK DATA[8] ACK STOP ADDRESS[7] Receive (1 = Read) SLAVE START 1 ACK DATA[8] ACK DATA[8] ACK STOP ADDRESS[7] 7

I 2 C - Protocol START & STOP conditions Start condition - a HIGH to LOW transition on the SDA line while SCL is HIGH Stop condition - a LOW to HIGH transition on the SDA line while SCL is HIGH 8

12 During data transfer, SDA must be stable when SCL is High I 2 C - Protocol Bit transfer

I 2 C - Protocol Data transfer Each byte has to be followed by an acknowledge bit Number of data bytes transmitted per transfer is unrestricted If a slave can’t receive or transmit another complete byte of data, it can hold the clock line SCL LOW (clock stretching) to force the master into a wait state 13

I 2 C - Protocol Acknowledge / NOT-Acknowledge I 2 C specification: Data transfer with acknowledge is obligatory. The receiver must pull down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse so that it remains stable LOW d during the HIGH period of this clock pulse. i th HIGH i d f thi l k l Scenarios with a NOT-acknowledge (NACK) (SDA staying HIGH): A receiver with the address is not present in the I 2 C bus. 1. The receiver is performing real-time tasks and it cannot process the received I 2 C 2 2. The receiver is performing real time tasks and it cannot process the received I C information. 3. The receiver is the master and wants to take control of SDA line again in order to generate a STOP command. The slave transmitter MUST then release the SDA line when it sees the NACK so the master can send the STOP command line when it sees the NACK so the master can send the STOP command. 14

I 2 C - Protocol Arbitration procedure p Two or more masters may generate a START V DD condition at the same time SDA Arbitration is done on SDA while SCL is HIGH - Slaves are not involved Sl i l d DATA1 DATA2 SDA SDA Master 1 Master 2 Summary: The master that first sends a “1” while the other sends a “0” loses control (arbitration) 15
