I 2 C <strong>Bus</strong> Features<br />

• Only 2 bus lines required: data (SDA) and clock (SCL)<br />

• Each device connected to <strong>the</strong> bus is software addressable by a<br />

unique address<br />

• 2 modes: Master-Transmitter and as Master-Receiver<br />

• Multi-master capable protocol:<br />

collision detection<br />

arbitration<br />

• Serial bi-directional data transfers:<br />

100 kbit/s Standard-mode<br />

400 kbit/s Fast-mode<br />

3.4 Mbit/s High-speed mode<br />

• Maximum bus capacitance = 400 pF (without repeaters) which is<br />

about 20 – 30 devices or 10 ft of wire<br />
