I2C-BUS: THE SERIAL REVOLUTION
By replacing complex parallel interfaces with a
straightforward yet powerful serial structure, the I2C-bus SDA
revolutionized chip-to-chip communications.
SCL
Invented by NXP (Philips) more than 30 years ago, the
I2C-bus uses a simple two-wire format to carry data one
uC
bit at a time. It performs inter-chip addressing, selection,
control and data transfer. Speeds are up to 400 kHz (fast
mode), 1 MHz (fast mode plus), 3.4 MHz (high-speed
mode), or 5 MHz (ultra-fast mode). New 12.5 MHz I3C
controllers with backwards compatibility to I2C are
starting to hit the market which compete with the higher
speeds of the SPI bus. Parallel Interface I2C Serial Interface

The I2C-bus shrinks the IC footprint and leads to lower

IC costs. Additionally, since far fewer copper traces
are needed, it enables a smaller PCB, reduces design
complexity and lowers system cost.

Function
I2C-bus devices are available in a wide range of functions.
Each target device has its own I2C-bus address, selectable
using address pins set high (1) or low (0). Information is
transmitted byte by byte, and each byte is acknowledged
by the receiver. There can be multiple devices on the
same bus, and more than one IC can act as controller.
The controller role is typically played by a microcontroller.

Just like I2C, I3C is implemented with standard CMOS I/O

pins using a two-wire interface, but unlike I2C it supports
in-band interrupts enabling target devices to notify
controllers of interrupts, a design feature that eliminates
the need for a separate general-purpose input/output
(GPIO) interrupt for each target, reducing system cost and
complexity. Support for dynamic address assignments help
minimize pin counts, which is key for accommodating space-
constrained form factors.

I3C supports a multi-drop bus that, at 12.5MHz, supports

standard data rate (SDR) of 10 Mbps with options for high-
data-rate (HDR) modes. The net result is that I3C offers a
leap in performance and power efficiency compared with I2C
as shown in Figure 2.

Our I2C-bus website (www.nxp.com/i2c), SPI website (www.

nxp.com/SPI) and I3C-bus website (www.nxp.com/i3c)
are a valuable resource for device information and training
programs. It gives you direct access to a comprehensive
handbook, application notes, information about evaluation
kits and training materials, links to application and design
PCF2131-ARD support and more. The development boards and daughter
card make it easy to program new peripherals and are a
quick way to learn about the I2C-bus and I3C-bus protocol.

Samples and demo boards are available on request; contact

a local NXP distributor.
