I2C Waveform Diagram Explanation

I2C Waveform Diagram Explanation

The I2C waveform is one of the most common, and today we will directly discuss the diagram.Start Signal:Figure 1Acknowledge Signal:Figure 2Stop Signal:Figure 3Figure 4​Acknowledgment:SACK: acknowledged by slave; the slave device acknowledges the signal, low level indicates received;MACK: acknowledged by master; the master device acknowledges the signal, low level indicates received;NACK: Not acknowledged; the device is … Read more

Why Use Open-Drain Output and Pull-Up Resistors in I2C?

Why Use Open-Drain Output and Pull-Up Resistors in I2C?

Why do we need pull-up resistors in I2C? Because it uses open-drain output. Why is it open-drain output? The I2C protocol supports multiple master devices and multiple slave devices on a single bus. If push-pull output is used instead of open-drain output, it could lead to short circuits between master devices. Therefore, the bus generally … Read more

Mastering Microcontrollers: Answer These Questions to Prove Your Skills!

With the rapid development of electronic technology, microcontrollers have become one of the essential basic components in many fields. They are small yet complete microcomputer systems that integrate a central processing unit (CPU), RAM, ROM, various I/O ports, and interrupt systems onto a single silicon chip using ultra-large-scale integration technology, and are widely used. 1. … Read more

Principles and Programming Implementation of I2C Communication in Embedded Technology (Temperature and Humidity Sensor)

Principles and Programming Implementation of I2C Communication in Embedded Technology (Temperature and Humidity Sensor)

1. Detailed Explanation of I2C Communication Principles 1. Hardware Structure and Physical Layer Bus Topology: The I2C bus is a multi-master/slave structure that supports multiple master and slave devices sharing the bus. SCL (Clock Line) and SDA (Data Line) are both open-drain outputs and require external pull-up resistors (typical value: 4.7kΩ, specific values should be … Read more
