The Ins and Outs of I²C Bus Buffers

About This Training

The I²C bus has expanded from its humble beginnings in 1980s home electronics to both small and large scale systems in the modern world. Applications range from smartphones to server farms and while they're true to the original simple signaling protocol, other I²C bus components are needed to expand, adapt or buffer those signals. In this training, we take an in depth technical look at the simple bus buffer, often needed and seldom understood.
