COTS Communication IP Cores
I2C Master Controller
The I2C Master IP Controller implements an I2C Master fully compliant to the I2C-bus specification and user manual Rev. 5 – 9 October 2012 for Standard-mode, Fast-mode and Fast-mode Plus (Fm+). The Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) is a multi-master, multi-slave, single-ended, serial computer bus invented by Philips Semiconductor (now NXP Semiconductors). The I2C bus is typically used for attaching lower-speed peripheral ICs to processors and microcontrollers.
I2C Slave Controller
The I2C Slave IP Controller implements an I2C Slave fully compliant to the I2C-bus specification and user manual Rev. 5 – 9 October 2012 for Standard-mode, Fast-mode and Fast-mode Plus (Fm+). The Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) is a multi-master, multi-slave, single-ended, serial computer bus invented by Philips Semiconductor (now NXP Semiconductors). The I2C bus is typically used for attaching lower-speed peripheral ICs to processors and microcontrollers.
UART Controller
The Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) is a hardware device that translates data between parallel and serial forms. UARTs are commonly used in conjunction with communication standards such as TIA (formerly EIA) RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485. The universal designation indicates that the data format and transmission speeds are configurable. The electric signaling levels and methods (such as differential signaling etc.) are handled by a driver circuit external to the UART.
