Operational Blocks

The I

2

C Bus Interface Unit is a slave peripheral device that is connected to the internal

bus. The 4138xx interrupt mechanism can be used for notifying the 4138xx that there

is activity on the I

2

C bus. Polling can be also be used instead of interrupts, although it

would be very cumbersome.

Figure 92

shows a block diagram of the I

2

C Bus Interface

Unit and its interface to the internal bus.
The I

2

C Bus Interface Unit consists of the two wire interface to the I

2

C bus, an 8-bit

buffer for passing data to and from the 4138xx, a set of control and status registers,

and a shift register for parallel/serial conversions.
