3.2 Pull-up Resistors
2
I
C Bus systems are based on open-collector technology requiring pull-up devices
on each signal wire (SCL, SDA, /INT). These pull-up devices usually take the form
of pull-up resistors connected to bus power.
2
The I
C adapter includes a PULL-UPS slide switch used to enable or disable
internal 1.8K ohm pull-up resistors attached to the SCL, SDA, and /INT lines.
2
Every I
C Bus system must have at least one pull-up on the signal lines. In some
cases, the pull-ups may be present in the external I
