ABSTRACT:
An apparatus that is adapted to receive signals from an Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) bus is provided. The apparatus comprises a serial data (SDA) filter, a serial clock (SCL) filter, I2C interface logic, and operational circuitry. The SDA filter is adapted to receive an SDA signal from the I2C bus and includes a hold terminal and a disable terminal. The hold terminal of the SDA filter issues a disable signal when a transient in the SDA signal is detected. The SCL filter is adapted to receive an SCL signal from the I2C bus and includes a hold terminal and a disable terminal. The hold terminal of the SCL filter issues a disable signal when a transient in the SCL signal is detected. Additionally, the hold terminal of the SCL filter is coupled to the disable terminal of the SDA filter, and the hold terminal of the SDA filter is coupled to the disable terminal of the SCL filter. The I2C interface logic is coupled to the SDA filter and to the SCL filter, and operational circuitry is coupled the I2C interface logic.
