I2C Bus Host Adapter

User’s Guide

Model: MIIC-201D/U

1 Overview

The MCC iPort DLL/USB I2C Bus Host Adapter (#MIIC-201D/U) allows any

Windows 98se, 2000, XP, or higher PC with a free USB port or self-powered USB

hub, to become an I2C Master or Slave device, transmitting or receiving I2C

messages between the PC and one or more I2C devices across an I2C Bus.

iPort DLL/USB Product Features:

• Compatible with existing iPort (#MIIC-201) applications.Upgrade existing iPort

applications from RS-232 to USB. No software changes required.

• Windows DLL Application Program Interface (API).

• Compatible with Windows 98se, 2000, XP, or higher based PC.

• Compatible with USB 2.0 Specifications.

• Supports I2C Bus Master and Slave, Transmit and Receive operations.

• User Selectable Master I2C bit rates of 12.5 KHz and 100 KHz.

• Compatible with 3.3V to 5V I2C Bus voltages.

• Includes switch-enabled internal I2C Pull-Up resistors.

• Includes our free I2C Message Center and Message Manager Windows

Applications. Get on the I2C Bus in Seconds.

• Includes our easy to use Virtual Communications Port (VCP) driver.

The I2C adapter system consists of the following components:

1.1 iPort DLL/USB I2C Bus Host Adapter

The iPort DLL/USB adapter is a bus-powered USB device that plugs into a host

computer’s USB port or self-powered USB hub and generates I2C Bus signals.

1.2 iPort DLL/USB Virtual Communications Port (VCP)

The iPort DLL/USB Virtual Communications Port (VCP) driver creates a virtual

serial port within the iPort DLL/USB device. To a Windows software application,

the VCP looks just like a legacy serial communications port, allowing standard

iPort DLL programming methods to work unchanged. No special USB

programming is required. The iPort DLL/USB VCP is available to the host

computer whenever the iPort DLL/USB is attached to the host computer.

1.3 iPort Utility Pack Software

This free software package includes the iPort Message Center and Message

Manager applications to help you easily send and receive I2C Bus messages.

1.4 iPort Software Development Kit for Windows

This optional software package includes:

• iPort DLL (Dynamic Linked Library) for Windows

• Programmer’s Guide

• Sample Application Programs

This iPort Software Development Kit for Windows is only needed if you are

developing a custom Windows software application for the iPort DLL/USB. Find

additional sample programs and complete projects on our web site’s Sample

Program page.

1.5 Packing Slip

This package includes the following items:

• iPort DLL/USB I2C Bus Host Adapter (#MIIC-201D/U).

• USB Interface Cable.

•I

2C Clip-Lead Cable.

•I

2C Interface Cable.

• iPort DLL/USB User’s Guide (this document).

• iPort Utility Pack for Windows CD.

• Global Power Supply (Optional supplement power for target system).

1.6 System Requirements

a. A host computer with one free USB port or self-powered USB hub.

b. Windows 98se, 2000, XP or higher.

2 Interconnects

The iPort DLL/USB includes three interconnections:

2.1 USB Connector

The USB connector provides connection from the I2C adapter to a USB port on the

host computer or self-powered USB hub. The iPort DLL/USB operates as a

bus-powered USB device, with limited target system power. Additional target

system power can be provided via an included external power supply.

2.1.1 Virtual Communications Port (VCP)

The iPort DLL/USB provides a Virtual Communications Port (VCP) interface via a

host computer driver. Application programs running on the host computer

communicate with the iPort DLL/USB via the standard iPort DLL.

2.2 +5VDC Power Jack

The iPort DLL/USB is a bus-powered USB device. When deriving power from the

Universal Serial Bus only, a limited amount of power is available to a target system

via +5V wire in the I2C Interface Connector. Additional power for a target system

can be provided via the +5VDC Power Jack. When connected to the +5VDC Power

Jack, an external power supply will remove all target system power load from the

USB and replace it with power from the external power supply. See the “Hardware

Setup” section for additional details.

2.3 I2C Interface Connector

The I2C adapter includes a four wire, positive locking, modular receptacle connector

(see Appendix A) for interfacing to an external I2C Bus. Lines provided include I2C

Clock (SCL), I2C Data (SDA), Ground, and +5V.

Minimum wiring for I2C communications include I2C Clock, Data, and Ground.
