Fast-Mode Plus I2C-bus: Adding value to your designs

Overview:
Architects and designers have used I²C for over 30 years to simplify their designs. Today's systems are getting faster and increasingly complex in terms of inter chip communication, whether it is Personal computing, Enterprise computing, Network infrastructure or Mobile platforms. Systems today have different timing domains and capacitive loading considerations. One effective solution to address these challenges would be to continue using an interface like the I²C-bus that offers simplicity and ease of design; but at higher speed for faster data transfer and with higher drive strength to allow longer buses or more devices on the bus without using buffers. This webinar will discuss the Fast-mode Plus (Fm+) I²C interface which supports up to 1MHz speeds and higher loading compared to Fast-mode (Fm) I²C. Trade-offs and system challenges that need considerations when designing with Fast-mode Plus I²C will also be addressed. As inventors of I²C bus, NXP continues to drive innovation in taking the I²C-bus standard to the next level and offers a comprehensive I²C technology portfolio with a variety of bus enablers and peripherals.
