<p>
<font size=+1><b>Description</b></font>
<P>
I2C is a two-wire, bidirectional serials bus that provide a simple, efficient method of data exchange between devices.
<BR>
You can find I2C specification on <A HREF=http://www-us.semiconductors.philips.com/acrobat/various/I2C_BUS_SPECIFICATION_3.pdf> Phillips web Site</A>.
<BR>
<p>
<font size=+1><b>What you get</b></font><p>
The simplest master I2C ever built! Requirement is low gate count so features are restricted:<BR>
<UL>
<LI>No Multimaster operation
<LI>No FIFO
<LI>No slave mode
</UL>
 
<BR>
The processor interface is composed of four registers:
<UL>
<LI>Timing Register (TR)
<LI>Control Register (CR)
<LI>Status Register (SR)
<LI>Data Register (DR)
</UL>
This is a copy of <I>ColdFire</I> MBUS Interface Programmer's Model from Motorola.
<P>
 
There is the preliminary block diagram :
<img src="Block.gif" border="0" ><br>
The design is fully synchronous, only one clock. The Timing register fix the output rate of the I2C bus.
<br>
The bus interface is not specified at this time and it would be either OR1K specific bus or APB (from AMBA specification).
<P>
 
Current Status:
<ul>
working on functional and design specifications
