What is I2C?
I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) is a serial communication protocol used to connect low-speed peripherals to a microcontroller or microprocessor. It uses two wires, SDA (Serial Data) and SCL (Serial Clock), to transmit data between devices. It is commonly used for communication between microcontrollers and sensors, memory chips, and other integrated circuits on a printed circuit board.
What other technologies are related to I2C?
I2C Competitor Technologies
SPI
SPI is a synchronous serial communication interface, like I2C, often used for short-distance, high-speed communication. It can be seen as a competitor for certain applications where I2C might be used.
I3C
I3C is an evolution of I2C that offers higher speeds, lower power consumption, and improved features. It is designed to be backward compatible with I2C but is meant to replace I2C in many applications.
I2C Complementary Technologies
GPIO
GPIO pins are general-purpose input/output pins that can be used to control or monitor digital signals. I2C communication is often controlled or monitored using GPIO pins for tasks like address selection or interrupt handling. Thus, GPIOs complement I2C.
RTOS
An RTOS (Real-Time Operating System) manages the timing and scheduling of tasks in embedded systems. It can complement I2C by providing a structured environment for managing I2C communication, handling interrupts, and ensuring timely data transfer.
FreeRTOS
FreeRTOS is a popular open-source RTOS for embedded systems. It complements I2C by providing a structured environment for managing I2C communication, handling interrupts, and ensuring timely data transfer.
