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

Ack/Nak protocol, sequence numbering, and replay logic explained 1 . Introduction The Data Link Layer (DLL) sits between the Transaction Layer (TL) and the Physical Layer (PHY). Its core responsibility is reliability — ensuring that every TLP transmitted over the serial link is received exactly once, and without corruption. Even though the Physical Layer may introduce

Understanding live credit flow, link stalls, and verification strategies 1 . Introduction Flow control in PCIe is invisible during normal operation — it works silently behind every packet.However, debugging or verifying PCIe requires you to see how credits move and confirm that every transmission follows the credit rules. In this post, you’ll walk through real

Traffic prioritization, VC architecture, and independent flow control 1 . Introduction So far, all our examples have used a single Virtual Channel (VC0).However, PCI Express supports multiple Virtual Channels, each functioning as a logically independent pathway through the same physical link. Every VC has its own flow control, credits, and arbitration logic, allowing multiple types
