I2C Communication
There are several I2C devices on the Mars EB1 base board, connected to the I2C communication lines. These
are presented in Table 25.
Note that the I2C signals connected to the Mars connector address other I2C devices equipped on the Mars
module.

The Mars EB1 base board features a system monitor and current sense circuit, addressable via I2C - these
are used for voltage and current monitoring. Additional functionality, such as GPIO and fan control, is also
available.

Table 27: System Monitor Type
The system monitor performs two sets of voltage and current measurements. The user can select which
set of inputs should be measured by toggling the value of the VMON_SEL signal. This can be set via DIP
switches, or via the system controller registers. Please refer to Sections 6.3 and 6.10 for details.
Table 28 lists the voltage measurements performed by the system monitor.
