Notes: An I2C(also IIC; the "2" is superscripted) Inter-Integrated Circuit Bus -- A moderate-speed serial communications bus originally invented by Philips in the early 1980s for consumer-electronics applications, such as inter-chip communication in a television set or high-end stereo. The I2C bus has recently appeared on PCs in video capture boards and similar devices, as well as (surprisingly) SDRAM DIMMs (for the on-board serial EEPROM). The ACCESS.bus is a derivative of the I2C bus which forms the physical layer of the Universal Serial Bus. Similary, the SMBus (System Management Bus) also uses I2C as its physical layer. device uses two consecutive subaddresses; the low bit indicates whether a read (bit 0 = 1) or write (bit 0 = 0) is being performed the header of each entry in this file indicates the device's subaddress (the "slave address" in official terminology) and the register number within the device; for certain indexed registers, the index value is given as the third value in the entry header SMBus(System Management Bus) A derivative of the I2C bus used for communication between various components of a computer, such as smart batteries and their chargers. In contrast to I2C, SMBus specifies fixed voltage levels (instead of relative to the power supply voltage) and a 10 KHz minimum clock rate (I2C minimum is 0). SMBus also specifies several timings which are not required by I2C. See also I2C, ACCESS.bus., ACCESS.busA further development of the I2C bus which forms the physical layer of the Universal Serial Bus. Because ACCESS.bus is used for communication with external devices, it includes power and ground wires in addition to I2C's clock and data lines, and permits twice the current draw (6ma) on the clock and data lines. see also I2C, SMBus., and the DDC2B data link to the monitor are all variants of the I2C(also IIC; the "2" is superscripted) Inter-Integrated Circuit Bus -- A moderate-speed serial communications bus originally invented by Philips in the early 1980s for consumer-electronics applications, such as inter-chip communication in a television set or high-end stereo.
