NAME

     pcf — Philips I2C bus controller

SYNOPSIS

     device pcf

     In /boot/device.hints:
     hint.pcf.0.at="isa"
     hint.pcf.0.port="0x320"
     hint.pcf.0.irq="5"

     For one or more iicbus busses:
     device iicbus

DESCRIPTION

     The pcf driver provides support to the Philips PCF8584 I2C controller for the iicbus(4)
     system.

     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.
