Table 138.   Intel FPGA Avalon® I2C (Host) Core Signals
Signal Width Direction Description
Clock/Reset
clk 1 Input System clock source, Minimum clock frequency is 10 MHz.
rst_n 1 Input

System asynchronous reset source,

Note: This signal is asynchronously asserted and synchronously de-asserted. The synchronous de-assertion must be provided externally to this peripheral.
Avalon® -MM Agent
addr 4 Input Avalon® -MM address bus.

The address bus is in the unit of word addressing. For example, addr[2:0] = 0x0 is targeting the first word of the cores memory map space and addr[2:0] = 0x1 is targeting the second word.

read 1 Input Avalon® -MM read control
write 1 Input Avalon® -MM write control
readdata 32 Output Avalon® -MM read data bus
writedata 32 Input Avalon® -MM write data bus
Avalon® -ST Source 31
src_data 8 Output I2C data from receive data FIFO (RX_DATA)
src_valid 1 Output Indicates src_data bus is valid
src_ready 1 Input Indication from sink port that it is ready to consume src_data
Avalon® -ST Sink31
snk_data 10 Input 10-bit value driven by source port to transfer command FIFO (TFR_CMD)
snk_valid 1 Input Indication from source port that snk_data is valid
snk_ready 1 Output Indication from sink port that it is ready to consume snk_data
Serial Interface
scl_oe 1 Output

Output enable for open drain buffer that drives SCL pin

1: SCL line pulled low

0: Open drain buffer is tri-stated and SCL line is externally pulled high

sda_oe 1 Output

Output enable for open drain buffer that drives SDA pin

1: SDA line pulled low

0: Open drain buffer is tri-stated and SDA line is externally pulled high

scl_in 1 Input Input path of I2C’s open drain buffer
sda_in 1 Input It is from input path of I2C’s open drain buffer
Interrupt
intr 1 Output Active high level interrupt output to host processor
31 These signals are not used if “Interface for transfer command FIFO and receive data FIFO accesses” is set to Avalon® -MM Agent. This setting can be configured through Platform Designer.
