Does anyone have any ideas on interfacing the standard 8051 UART in mode 0 to interface to an I2C slave? I was thinking of writing the address of the slave, then shifting the acknowledge back in immediatley after. Any feedback would be appreciated. Matt
there is a Philips IC that bridge UART to I2C. Pls send me your e-mail address.
"there is a Philips IC that bridge UART to I2C." Maxim also do such things - as has already been mentioned! Most likely there are others, too. Of course, you could easily implement such a thing with just about any microcontroller - whether you use dedicated hardware UART and I2C peripherals, or implement either or both in software ("bit-banging")...
