I2C Address and Pull-Up Bench

Interpret I²C address/write/read frames and validate pull-up voltage compatibility.

Guided setup

  1. Select I²C at 100 kHz.nEnter address and data bytes.nDecode START, address, direction, data and STOP.nCompare a 5 V board and a 3.3 V sensor module.

Expected observations

  • 7-bit address is separated from the R/W bit.nPull-ups define bus HIGH voltage.nEvery addressed byte requires an ACK/NACK decision in real capture.
