I2C Communication is a part and parcel of embedded system design; especially for systems where the priority is not focused on achieving very high clock rates. So, it should come as no surprise that I2C is widely used in low-speed and low-cost applications. The technology was first conceived in 1982 and in spite of being three decades old, the ...

As Linux, the open-source operating system created by Linus Torvalds turns 25 today, we can’t help but marvel at its incredible journey. Twenty-five years ago, Linus Torvalds announced his project on the comp.os.minx message board, requesting feedback from coders on an Operating system, which according to him, was “just a hobby.” Howe...
Video protocols such as HDMI, DVI and VGA use the I2C bus for a display control channel, as well as a data display channel.
For audio and video transmissions, the control channels are designed to prevent delays and jitter; losing an occasional packet is not considered or treated as a problem.
For video, there is a data display channel (DDC), ...
