Receptacle Connector
An I
2
C Interface Cable (White=SCL, Red=+5VDC, Green=SDA, Black=Ground) is
provided to connect to an external I
2
C Bus. Since there is no standard I
2
C Bus
connector, you may want to cut off one end of the cable and add a connector
compatible with your target system.
Additional I
2
C Interface Cables (4 ft., 8 ft., or 16 ft.), and modular connectors are
available from MCC. Clip Lead cables are also available. (see Appendix A)
2.4 Interrupt (/INT) Signal Connector
The Interrupt (/INT) signal is an extra pin found on some I
2
C devices. The /INT
signal allows a slave-only device to attract the attention of a bus master device by
lowering the /INT signal voltage level.
The iPort/AFM provides an open-drain /INT signal which can be connected to a
corresponding pin on a master or slave device. The /INT signal allows the
iPort/AFM to participate in interrupt signaling between master or slave devices.
An interrupt output (/INT=low) is generated upon receiving an iNterrupt Assert
command from the host computer. The interrupt signal is released (/INT = high)
when the iPort/AFM is addressed as an I
2
C Bus slave device, or a iNterrupt Release
command is received from the host computer.
Interrupt monitoring is enabled upon receiving an Enable /INT Monitor command
from the host computer. Interrupt monitoring causes the iPort/AFM to monitor the
