Features

  • I2C bus uses two wires to transfer information between devices connected to the bus: a serial clock line (SCL) and a serial data line (SDA)
  • I2CS bus controller performs serial transmission of up to 400 kHz for operation in standard mode and fast-speed mode
    • In slave receiver mode, serial data and the serial clock are received through SDA and SCL
    • In slave transmitter mode, serial data is transmitted via SDA while the serial clock is input through SCL

Description

The I2CS bus controller logic provides a serial interface that meets the Philips I2C bus specification and supports all slave transfer modes to and from the I2C bus. The I2CS logic handles byte transfers autonomously, tracks serial transfers, and a status register (i2cssta) reflects the status of I2CS bus controller and the I2C bus.

The I2CS is a microcode-free design developed for reuse in application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and programmable logic applications. The design is strictly synchronous with positive-edge clocking, no internal tri-states, and a synchronous reset.

Device Utilization & Performance

Table 1 lists the typical device utilization results for the megafunction.
