I2C Slave Controller with User Register Array / Memory / FIFO / AMBA Interface

Overview

The DB-I2C-S-REG is an I2C Slave Controller IP Core focused on low VLSI footprint ASIC / ASSP designs interfacing to user registers while autonomous in that it does not require a local host CPU for configuration.

The DB-I2C-S-REG runs off an external clock input within the ASIC / ASSP, providing a synchronous design while offering I2C spike filtering of SDA and SCL.

The DB-I2C-S-REG writes I2C payload bytes into User Registers synchronous to the external clock or reads and transmits User Register data over the I2C bus.


Key Features

  • I2C Slave Controller - Implements Slave-only protocol for smaller VLSI footprint, for applications requiring Slave–Receiver and Slave–Transmitter capability
  • Autonomous I2C Slave Controller:
    • No local CPU host required
    • No configuring of control/status registers
  • 7- or 10-bit I2C Slave addressing, SCL Low Wait States
  • 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)
  • Compliance with I2C specifications:
    • Philips – The I2C-Bus Specification, Version 2.1, January 2000
    • NXP Rev .5 October 9, 2012
    • Fully-synchronous, synthesizable Verilog RTL core. Easy integration into FPGA or ASIC design flows.
