Explaining Why Pull-Up Resistors Are Added to I2C Signal Lines

Explaining Why Pull-Up Resistors Are Added to I2C Signal Lines

I2C is a two-wire serial communication bus, consisting of an SCL signal and an SDA signal. SCL is the clock signal sent from the master device, while SDA is the data signal, which is bidirectional, allowing devices to send and receive data through the SDA signal. When designing the I2C signal circuit, we add a … Read more

How to Select the Pull-Up Resistor Value for I2C?

How to Select the Pull-Up Resistor Value for I2C?

I2C is a common serial communication interface, which is available on most processors. The I2C interface is an open-drain structure, so pull-up resistors are needed in the design to drive the high level. As shown below: Rp is the pull-up resistor, and the dashed box contains the internal I2C controller structure of the chip (for … Read more
