I2C interface, is a very powerful tool for system designers. The
integrated protocols allow systems to be completely software defined.
Software development time of different products can be reduced by
assembling a library of reusable software modules. In addition, the
multimaster capability allows rapid testing and alignment of
end-products via external connections to an assembly-line computer.
The mask programmable 87LPC76X and its EPROM version, the
87LPC76X, can operate as a master or a slave device on the I2C
small area network. In addition to the efficient interface to the
dedicated function ICs in the I2C family, the on-board interface
facilities I/O and RAM expansion, access to EEPROM and
processor-to-processor communications.
