The Inter IC bus or I2C bus is a simple bidirectional two wire bus designed primarily for general controland data transfer communication between ICs.Some of the features of the I2C bus are:• Two signal lines, a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL), and ground are required. A 12V supply line (500mA max.) for powering the peripherals often may be present.• Each device connected to the bus is software addressable by a unique address and simple master/ slave relationships exist at all times masters can operate as master-transmitters or as master-receivers.• The I2C bus is a true multi-master bus including collision detection and arbitration to prevent data corruption if two or more masters simultaneously initiate data transfer systems.• Serial, 8-bit oriented, bidirectional data transfers can be made at up to 100 KBit/s in the standard mode or up to 400 KBit/s in the fast mode.
