System Overview
The CP2120 is a highly-integrated SPI-to-I2C Bridge Controller with an SPI interface that provides a simple and reliable method for communicating with I2C devices. The CP2120 includes a 4-wire serial peripheral interface (SPI), a serial I2C interface, 256 byte data buffers, an internal oscillator, eight input/output port pins, and one pin configurable as an edge-triggered interrupt source in a compact 4x4 package. No external components other than pull-up resisters on the I2C pins are required. The SPI Master controls the CP2120 across the SPI interface using a command set that governs all CP2120 configuration and operation.
