I2C Protocol – Complete Guide | VLSI Trainers

Leave a Comment / Blog

What is I2C? I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit), pronounced I-squared-C, is a synchronous, multi-master, multi-slave, serial communication protocol. It was introduced by Philips (now NXP) in 1982. I2C allows a processor or microcontroller to communicate with multiple peripheral devices using only two wires. Simple Example: A microcontroller communicating with sensors, EEPROMs, RTCs, or displays using just SDA […]
