Overview
La carte I2C Extend Click Board™ est une carte complémentaire compacte destinée aux applications qui nécessitent l'extension du bus de communication I2C sur une longue distance. Cette carte est équipée du LTC4331, une extension de périphérique esclave I2C sur une liaison différentielle robuste, d'Analog Devices. Il s'agit d'une extension de périphérique esclave I2C compatible SMBus point à point, conçue pour fonctionner dans des environnements industriels à bruit élevé tout en prenant en charge une horloge série jusqu'à 1 MHz, une protection ESD ± 40 kV sur les broches de liaison, des débits en bauds de liaison sélectionnables et bien plus encore. Toutes ces fonctionnalités font de l'I2C Extend Click un excellent choix pour diverses applications qui nécessitent l'extension du bus I2C sur une longue distance, telles que l'installation de capteurs, le contrôle industriel, le contrôle des systèmes d'éclairage, le contrôle des systèmes sonores, etc.
La carte Click Board™ I2C Extend est prise en charge par une bibliothèque compatible mikroSDK, qui comprend des fonctions qui simplifient le développement logiciel. Cette carte Click Board™ est un produit entièrement testé, prêt à être utilisé sur un système équipé du socket mikroBUS™.
How Does The I2C Extend Click Board™ Work?
The I2C Extend Click Board™ is based on the LTC4331, which is a point-to-point compatible I2C slave device extender designed for operation in high noise industrial environments. Using a ±60V fault protected differential transceiver, the LTC4331 can extend an I2C/SMBus bus, including remote interrupt function and a control signal, over a single twisted pair differential link. Thanks to selectable link baud rates, the I2C bus can be extended up to 1200m, depending on the link speed and external factors such as environmental noise level, humidity, cable quality, etc. Standard twisted-pair cables with RJ45 connectors can be used, the same as in the ethernet devices, etc.
Besides the I2C protocol extension, I2C Extend Click Board™ also supports local to remote control and interrupt functions. Local to remote control ensures that the values set on the local side CTRL pin propagate to the remote side CTRL pin over the differential link. Users can choose pin on the mikroBUS™ socket used for that purpose (CS or RST), using the onboard jumper named PIN SEL. Interrupt pin acts as an open-drain output in local mode and an input in remote mode. Basically, an interrupt signal on the INT pin in the I2C Extend Click is mirrored from the remote network to the local network using the differential link. On the remote side INT is an input pin that can be connected to remote I2C slave devices, while on the local side, it is operating as an open-drain output that can be connected to a shared local interrupt line.
Because of the dual functionality of the I2C Extend Click, the user needs to set the mode of operation of the Click board™. That is easily achieved using the onboard MODE switch, with two positions: local mode (LCL), where this Click board™ is in I2C slave mode and remote mode (RMT) where this Click board™ is in I2C master mode. Besides mode selection, I2C Extend Click can also link speed and I2C address selection jumpers onboard, named "SPEED SEL" and "ADDR SEL", respectively.
The I2C Extend Click Board™ has Link status (LINK) and ready status (RDY) LEDs, making troubleshooting as easy as possible. In remote mode, LINK LED is active when the device establishes link communication. When in local mode, LINK LED is active after the LTC4331's I2C interface has joined the I2C bus in addition to establishing link communication.The RDY LED is active after the device's I2C interface has joined the bus.
The I2C Extend Click Board™ is designed to operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic levels that can be selected via VCC SEL jumper. This allows for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the I2C communication lines properly.

Software Support
We provide a library for the I2C Extend Click Board™ on our LibStock page, as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Library Description
The library covers all the necessary functions to control the I2C Extend Click Board™. A library performs the communication with the LTC4331 I2C Slave Device Extender Over Rugged Differential Link via I2C interface.
Key Functions
void i2cextend_generic_write ( uint8_t reg, uint8_t tx_data )- Generic write data function.uint8_t i2cextend_generic_read ( uint8_t reg )- Generic read data function.uint8_t i2cextend_rmt_read ( uint8_t rmt_slave_addr, uint8_t reg )- Generic read data in Remote Mode function.
Example Description
The application is composed of three sections :
- System Initialization - Initializes I2C, sets INT pin as input and RST and CS pin as outputs and begins to write log.
- Application Initialization - Initialization driver enables - I2C, check communication with device 6DOF IMU 11 Click connected to the I2C Extend Click ( Remote Mode ), set default configuration and start measurement.
- Application Task - (code snippet) This is an example which demonstrates the use of the I2C Extend Click Board™.
