The I2 C bus : from theory to practice

This is a good-quality scan.
The I2C or Inter-Integrated Circuit bus is a two-wire control bus for linking microcontroller and peripheral ICs. The simplicity of its unique combination of both address and data bus functions has made it a worldwide industry standard. This guidebook through the world of microcontroller-managed serial buses will enable the reader to design an I2C bus-based system for virtually any application. Features include: Examination of typical industrial and consumer applications which will enable the reader to design effectively in a real-world environment. Examples of modular solutions at various levels of complexity. Instruction on building bridges to other buses. Accompanying diskette containing I2C bus instruction software. Structured in four parts, the book covers protocol, components, applications and development tools. This comprehensive text outlines the versatility of the I2C bus, which has resulted in its widespread adoption in a variety of areas from telecommunications and automotive dashboards to energy management systems and medical equipment. The text combines a user-friendly style with the expertise of the author, who has been involved in the development of the I2C bus from its conception. Linking theory with practice, this accessible source allows both professional circuit designers and electrical and electronic engineering students rapidly to grasp the advantages of the I2C bus.
