I2C

Definitions

1. Inter-Integrated Circuit — a synchronous, multi-master, multi-slave serial communication bus that uses just two wires (SDA and SCL) to connect low-speed peripherals to a processor.

   In plain English: A way for chips to talk to each other using only two wires, where one wire carries the data and the other keeps everyone in sync, like a shared phone line with caller ID.

   Example: "We daisy-chained eight temperature sensors on the same I2C bus — two wires, eight addresses, zero drama."
