51.Sh DESCRIPTION
52.Tn I2C
53is a two-wire bus developed by Philips used for connecting
54integrated circuits.
55It is commonly used for connecting devices such as EEPROMs,
56temperature sensors, fan controllers, real-time clocks, tuners,
57and other types of integrated circuits.
58.Pp
59The
60.Nm
61driver provides a uniform programming interface layer between
62.Tn I2C
63master controllers and various
64.Tn I2C
65slave devices.
66Each
67.Tn I2C
68master controller attaches an
69.Nm
70framework; several slave devices can then be attached to the
71.Nm
72bus.
73.Pp
74All
75.Tn I2C
76slave devices are uniquely identified by the address on the bus.
77The master accesses a particular slave device using its address.
78.\" Devices are found on the bus using a sophisticated scanning routine
79.\" which attempts to identify commonly available devices.
80.\" On other machines (such as sparc64 and macppc) where the machine ROM
81.\" supplies a list of I2C devices, that list is used instead.
82.Pp
83System Management Bus (SMBus) protocol is also supported by emulating
84it with the
85.Tn I2C
86commands.
87.Sh SUPPORTED MASTERS
88A wide list of I2C masters are supported, among them
89are:
90.\"
91.\" Generate the following list with these (t)csh commands:
92.\" cd .../src/sys/arch
93.\" grep -h '^iic.*at' */conf/* | awk '{print $3}' | sed 's,.$,,' | sort -u | sh -c 'while read i ; do echo .It Xr $i 4; n=`grep -h ^.Nd ../../share/man/man4/$i* | sed "s,^.Nd ,,"`; if [ -n "$n" ]; then echo $n ; else echo "" ; fi ; done' | tee /tmp/x
