The Inter IC bus or I2C bus is a simple bidirectional two wire bus designed primarily for general control
and 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.
