3 Hardware Configuration

3.1

Circuit Sense

The iPort/USB 2 introduces MCC’s 

Circuit Sense

 technology. Circuit Sense allow

the I

2

C intV wire can operate in two modes, Power Source Mode and

Voltage Sense Mode. Mode selection is controlled by the MODE slide switch on
the side of the unit enclosure. 

Power Source Mode

 - The +V wire can supply power (3.3v or 5v @ 100 mA)

Vcc to an external I

2

C Bus system. Voltage selection is controlled by the

SOURCE slide switch on the side of the unit enclosure. In Power Source Mode,
the voltage of the iPort/USB 2 SCL, SDA, and /INT internal pull-ups, if enabled,
and Voltage Sense circuit (0.3Vcc Low

MAX

, 0.7Vcc High

MIN

) is selected by the

SOURCE switch. (Use of the +V wire in Power Source Mode is user optional). 

Power Source Mode is similar to the standard mode of operation on earlier
versions of MCC I

2

C Bus host adapters.

Voltage Sense Mode

 - The +V wire is connected to the external I

2

C Bus system

pull-up supply voltage (0.5v to 5v) Vcc, and automatically adjusts iPort/USB 2
SCL, SDA, and /INT voltage sense circuit levels to match (0.3Vcc Low

MAX

,

0.7Vcc High

MIN

). In Voltage Sense Mode, the voltage of the iPort/USB 2 SCL,

SDA, and /INT internal pull-ups, if enabled, is equal to the external voltage
(Vcc) applied to the +V wire. (Use of the +V wire in Voltage Sense Mode is
required).

3.2

Pull-up Resistors

I

2

C Bus systems are based on open-collector technology requiring pull-up devices

on each signal wire (SCL, SDA, /INT). These pull-up devices usually take the form
of pull-up resistors connected to bus power. 

The I

2

C adapter includes a PULL-UPS slide switch used to enable or disable

internal 1.8K ohm pull-up resistors attached to the SCL, SDA, and /INT lines. 
Every I

2

C Bus system must have at least one pull-up on the signal lines. In some

cases, the pull-ups may be present in the external I

2

C Bus circuit. Use this switch to

configure the pull-up resistors for your system.
