I2C Slave with AXI Master Bridge (I2C2AXI4)

Overview

The DB-I2C-S-AXI-BRIDGE is an I2C Slave Controller IP Core focused on low VLSI footprint ASIC / ASSP designs not requiring internal configuration & control registers (and thus no local host CPU required). The DB-I2C-S-AXI-BRIDGE processes the I2C protocol & physical layers, and receives & transmits bytes with respect to the I2C payload via a bridge AXI Master Interface to user registers or memory.
The DB-I2C-S-AXI-BRIDGE runs off the AXI Master external clock input within the ASIC / ASSP, providing a synchronous design while offering I2C spike filtering of SDA and SCL.

Key Features

  • I2C Slave Controller - Implements Slave-only protocol for smaller VLSI footprint, for applications requiring Slave–Receiver and Slave–Transmitter capability
  • AXI Master Interface – bridging the I2C Bus to the AXI Bus
  • Autonomous I2C Slave Controller:
    • No local CPU host required
    • No configuring of control/status registers
  • Slave I2C Controller Modes:
    • Slave – Transmitter
    • Slave – Receiver
  • Supports five I2C bus speeds:
    • Standard Mode (100 Kb/s)
    • Fast Mode (400 Kb/s)
    • Fast Mode plus (1 Mbit/s)
    • Ultra fast mode (5 Mbit/s)
    • Hs-mode (3.4 Mbit/s)
  • 7- or 10-bit I2C Slave ID addressing, SCL Low Wait States
  • Digital filter for the received SDA and SCL lines
