Key Features
I2C
- Operates in master or slave mode
- True 800 kbps† performance over higher bandwidth USB
- Supports standard mode (100 kbps) and fast (400 kbps) mode as well as various speeds ranging from 1 kHz to 800 kHz†
- Supports multi-master and inter-bit and inter-byte clock stretching
- Master transmit and receive
- Asynchronous slave transmit and receive
- Software configurable I2C pull-up resistors
- Software configurable target power pins to power downstream devices
- Repeated start, 10-bit slave addressing, and combined format transactions
SPI
- Operates in master or slave mode
- Up to 8 Mbps master signaling rate
- Up to 4 Mbps slave signaling rate
- Full duplex master transmit/receiveAsynchronous slave transmit/receive
- Software configurable target power pins to power downstream devices
- Software configurable Slave Select (SS) polarity in master mod
GPIO
- Repurpose I2C and SPI pins for more general use as custom signals on target systems
- Combine GPIOs with I2C or SPI to interact with your target system
- GPIO configuration is cached internally to preserve settings between operational modes
