14 Inter-Integrated Circuit Peripherals

Philips inter-integrated circuit (I²C) is a two wire serial bus interface that provides data transfer between many devices. SmartFusion 2 SoC FPGAs contain two identical I²C peripherals in the microcontroller subsystem (MSS I2C_0 and MSS I2C_1), that provide a mechanism for serial communication between the SmartFusion 2 device and external I²C compliant devices.

SmartFusion 2 I²C peripherals support the following protocols:
