WHAT IS I2C?

• It is known as the Inter Intergrated Circuit.

• It uses a single clock signal provided by the master to comminicate with
each other.
• It is a serial communication protocol.
• It was found in 1982 by Philips.
• The cost is really low.
• It takes only 2 pins.
• It is used in IOT, Automotive, and Industrial Applications.

SETTING UP MASTER MODE IN MSP430

UCB0CTL1 |= UCSWRST; // put eUSCI_B in reset state

UCB0CTLW0 |= UCMODE_3 + UCMST; // I2C master mode
UCB0BRW = 0x0008; // baudrate = SMCLK / 8
UCB0CTLW1 = UCASTP_2; // autom. STOP assertion
UCB0TBCNT = 0x07; // TX 7 bytes of data
UCB0I2CSA = 0x0012; // address slave is 12hex
P2SEL |= 0x03; // configure I2C pins (device specific)
UCB0CTL1 &= ^UCSWRST; // eUSCI_B in operational state
UCB0IE |= UCTXIE; // enable TX-interrupt
GIE; // general interrupt enable
...
// inside the eUSCI_B TX interrupt service routine
UCB0TXBUF = 0x77; // fill TX buffer
