  • Circuit and method for using the I.sup.2 C serial protocol with multiple voltages
    Patent number: 6078192
    Abstract: An apparatus and method wherein networked communications devices having different operating voltages share information according to the I.sup.2 C protocol, using unidirectional level shifters. A first bidirectional line having a first operating voltage shares information according to the I.sup.2 C protocol with a second bidirectional line having a second operating voltage different from the first operating voltage, where at least one of the bidirectional lines is split into two lines and connected to the other bidirectional line via unidirectional level shifters.
