What is I2C, Basics for Beginners

Ғылым және технология

NEW! Buy my book, the best FPGA book for beginners: nandland.com/book-getting-sta...
I2C is one of the most common interfaces to connect chips on a circuit card. From reading temperature sensors, to reading data from ADCs, to driving DACs, to passing information between two processors, I2C is a very common interface that has been around for decades.
If you've never worked with I2C, it can be a bit overwhelming. But this short introduction will tell you everything you need to know to get you confident when working with your own I2C circuits. Learn about the data transmission protocol called I2C, or Inter-integrated circuit. I talk through the basics of I2C for both a microcontroller or FPGA implementation, how data is exchanged, and how the hardware is designed.

    Final project for my final class for college before getting my degree is building a temperature sensor system with an Xmega board, a UART LCD display screen and a TWI compatible temp sensor. It is a two week project and i am starting it 2 days before last day of term. I got a job lined up pending graduation. Wish my luck, brethren. Hopefully next week i'll be an engineer.

    Hi, this video is very good! But maybe there is some thing missed in the data example. After the slave address is put on the bus by master, then the register address in the i2c slave device should be put on i2c bus, then the data should be put on the i2c bus by slave or master depending on read or write operation. What I mean is the register address in the i2c slave address is missed in your example.

I have use i2c to make my project recently but there a problem, that 2 slave is not synchronous about timing or whatever idk how to say the detail. Both of them has 400kB bandwidth, but master cant talk with them on a same bus. I have to create new i2c IO in software and it seem to be waisted i2c's ability.

    how i2c handles "no true scottsman" problem with multiple masters, would probably make a good video. Its such a common logical problem that applies to everything from philosophy to multi-threading to hardware. I like that most of your videos are focus on the applied tech, in the weeds at 4am, how do i do this. giving an overview and getting down into the design choices and compromises that i2c makes to do multiple masters, I think would make a good vid. mr. slave agrees.

    If I have a DHT22 connected to an esp8266, for example, how long of a cable can I use before the data becomes goofy? 22 gauge wires 5 mm apart from each other is about 0.1pF/cm, so 10 cm of wire would have 1pF of capacitance on the cable.

    Hi Dejan, This is a great explanation of the concept of connecting I2C items on the same board. I am very new to doing anything at all with electronics but my current project uses the MPU6050 module and I want to add a distance measuring module into the project too + powering some servos with the PCA9685 that also uses the I2C protocol. I have the MPU6050 actuating 4 x servos at the moment on an Arduino Uno with regular breadboard and external power supply. The code seems to stop working after a few minutes and I am struggling to find a fault that would cause this. QUESTION: You show an Arduino Mega in your wiring diagram... is that because you anticipate the code will be a bit heavy for the Uno? I am wondering if limited Uno memory is the issue I have with the MPU6050 at the moment - and if I should consider using a Mega for this module as i want to add other I2C items..?

    For something like this application, uno would be fine. Mega is really used for things like IO needs. Maybe if you need a bunch of analog or digital pins, mega is good to use. Hope you got to explore electronics more!

    In general, I2C communication is the mutual communication between ICs and ICs on the board. If there is IC and IC communication between boards, what are the advantages and disadvantages? How stable is the communication?

    Between boards have similar advantages and disadvantages. The comms should be OK unless there's a significant distance or lots of noise on the line. However it won't be as good as a differential signal interface.

    You cannot run dual voltage devices in an I2C setup. Modern hardware's high side drivers are essentially P-channel MOSFETS. While the high side driver isn't used in an I2C application, most I2C interfaces on microcontrollers, FPGAs, etc are on I/O buffers that have one present. P-channel FETs have a body diode effect that will leak any over-voltage on the I/O pad to the VIO rail as the virtual body diode's cathode is that direction. This will couple all the I2C noise at the higher pad voltage (minus a diode drop) to the lower voltage VIO rail. Bad bad idea.... Don't even suggest it's possible.
