I2C Development Kit

TP120112

The I2C Development Kit is a comprehensive and cost-effective kit that bundles together a complete set of Total Phase’s industry-leading I2C development tools and popular accessories. Both beginners and advanced developers will appreciate the convenience and value of the kit for developing and debugging an I2C bus on an embedded system.

With this kit, developers can exercise target I2C devices, simulate an I2C master or slave device, program and verify I2C-based memory devices and passively monitor an I2C bus in real-time with bit-level timing down to 20 ns.

Key Features
Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter
  • Operates in master or slave mode
  • True 800 kbps† performance over higher bandwidth USB
  • Supports standard mode (100 kbps) and fast (400 kbps) mode as well as various speeds ranging from 1 kHz to 800 kHz†
  • Supports multi-master and inter-bit and inter-byte clock stretching
  • Master transmit and receive
  • Asynchronous slave transmit and receive
  • Software configurable I2C pull-up resistors
  • Software configurable target power pins to power downstream devices
  • Repeated start, 10-bit slave addressing, and combined format transactions
    † Actual system bus speed may vary as a function of capacitance.
Beagle I2C/SPI Protocol Analyzer
