I2C Bus is the Inter-Integrated Circuit serial bus developed by Philips Semiconductor for inter-IC communications. Now, this highly efficient and cost effective communications link is being adopted by leading technology companies worldwide for chip, board, and system level communications.

An I2C Bus network can support up to 127 Master or Slave devices with a 2-wire serial interface. I2C devices can be as simple as RAM, EEPROM, or I/O devices, or have the full-blown processing power of an embedded microcontroller or microprocessor.

If you need to create your own custom I2C applications, our iPort Software Development Kit for Windows (SDK) provides the tools needed to turn your PC into an active I2C node. This package includes our Dynamic Linked Library with documentation and source code examples in Visual C and Delphi. This SDK works with the iPort (#MIIC-201), iPort DLL/USB (#MIIC-201D/U), and Variable Clock Rate I2C Adapter (#MIIC-201-V), to make developing I2C applications quick and easy.
