- .Sh DESCRIPTION
- The
- .Em pcf
- driver provides support to the Philips PCF8584 I2C controller for the
- .Xr iicbus 4
- system.
- .Pp
- The PCF8584 is an integrated circuit designed in CMOS technology which serves
- as an interface between most standard parallel-bus
- microcontrollers/microprocessors and the serial I2C-bus.
- The PCF8584
- provides both master and slave functions.
- Communication with I2C-bus is
- carried out on a byte-wise basis using interrupt or polled handshake.
- It
- controls all the I2C-bus specific sequences, protocol, arbitration and timing.
- The PCF8584 allows parallel-bus systems to communicate bidirectionally with
- the I2C-bus.
