How I2C communication protocol works what things needs to be taken care while designing for I2C peripheral ,pull-up resistors etc

Question

Accepted Answer

I2C is a serial communication protocol used to connect multiple devices with two wires. Pull-up resistors are necessary for proper communication.

I2C uses a master-slave architecture where the master initiates communication.
Each device on the bus has a unique address assigned to it.
Data is transmitted in packets with a start and stop bit.
Pull-up resistors are necessary to ensure proper voltage levels on the bus.
The value of the pull-up resistor depends on the capacitance of the bus and the speed of communication.
Care should be taken to avoid bus contention where multiple devices try to communicate at the same time.
I2C supports multiple speeds and modes of operation.
