24.1 I 2 C introduction
I 2 C (inter-integrated circuit) bus Interface serves as an interface between the microcontroller
and the serial I 2 C bus. It provides multimaster capability, and controls all I 2 C bus-specific
sequencing, protocol, arbitration and timing. It supports standard and fast speed modes. It is
also SMBus 2.0 compatible.
It may be used for a variety of purposes, including CRC generation and verification, SMBus
(system management bus) and PMBus (power management bus).
Depending on specific device implementation DMA capability can be available for reduced
CPU overload.
