The Inter-Integrated Circuit (I
2
C) is a two-wire, bidirectional serial bus that provides a simple, efficient method for data exchange between
devices. This two-wire bus minimizes the interconnection between devices.
The MPC5200B contains 2 identical and independent I
2
C modules:
•
I2C1 = MBAR + 0x3D00
•
I2C2 = MBAR + 0x3D40
The I
2
C module is connected to the IP bus, and the CommBus.
Each module operates up to 100Kbps with a maximum bus load and timing. Both I
2
C modules are capable of operating at higher baud rates,
up to a maximum of clock/20, with reduced bus loading.
The maximum communication length and the number of devices that can be connected are limited by a maximum bus capacitance of 400pF.
This bus is suitable for applications requiring occasional communications over a short distance between a number of devices. It also provides
flexibility, allowing more devices to be connected to the bus for further expansion and system development.
I
2
C is a true multi-master bus including collision detection and arbitration to prevent data corruption if two or more masters attempt to control
the bus simultaneously. This feature provides the capability for complex applications with multi-processor control. It may also be used for
rapid testing and alignment of end products via external connections to an assembly-line computer.
