C devices, such as microcontrollers, EEPROMs, real-time clock devices,
A/D converters, and LCD displays. The I
is used to connect several integrated circuits on a board. It uses two wires—serial data
(SDA) and serial clock (SCL)—to carry information between the integrated circuits that are
connected to it.

The I
C controller consists of transmitter and receiver sections, an independent baud rate
generator, and a control unit. The transmitter and receiver sections use the same clock, that

is derived from the I
C baud rate generator in master mode and generated externally in
slave mode. According to the I
if the SCL signal is held low by a slave device. As a master in the middle of a data transfer,

the I
C controller recognizes wait states by monitoring the SCL signal. The I
does not begin counting down from a specific timeout value when SCL is asserted, so the
software must monitor SCL assertion times for bus timeout.
