µPC1854A
3. I2C BUS INTERFACE
The µPC1854A uses the I2C bus interface that is developed by Philips. The serial clock line (SCL) and serial
data line (SDA) employ the 2-wire configuration as shown in Figure 3-1.
The µPC1854A contains seven (1 byte 8 bits) write registers and one read register through the I2C bus interface
circuit.
Serial Clock Line (SCL)
The master CPU outputs a serial clock to achieve data synchronization. The µPC1854A receives serial data
based on this clock. The input level is CMOS-compatible. The clock frequency is from 0 to 100 kHz.
Serial Data Line (SDA)
The master CPU outputs data synchronously with the serial clock. The µPC1854A receives this data based on
the serial clock. The input level is CMOS-compatible.

No protection diode is provided on the VCC side for the SCL and SDA pins so that the I2C bus line is not pulled
to 0 V when the power is OFF (VCC = 0 V).
