# I2C

## Parameters

<ParamField path="address" type="dimensionless" />

<ParamField path="bus_addresses" type="dimensionless" />

<ParamField path="frequency" type="hertz" />

## Interfaces

<ParamField path="scl" type="ElectricLogic" />

<ParamField path="sda" type="ElectricLogic" />

## Traits

**requires\_pulls**

## Global Attributes

These attributes are available to all modules and interfaces in a design.

<ParamField path="lcsc_id" type="str">
  Assign the LCSC ID of the module.

  If set, this will tell the picker to select that part from LCSC for this block.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="manufacturer" type="str">
  This module's manufacturer name, as a string.

  Only exact matches on the manufacturer's name will be found by the picker.
  It's recommended to fill this information based on what `ato create component`
  provides.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="mpn" type="str">
  This module's manufacturer part number, as a string.

  For the picker to select the correct part from the manufacturer,
  this must be set.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="package" type="str">
  The package of the module.

  This drives which components can be selected, and what footprint is used.

  Must exactly match a known package name.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="exclude_from_bom" type="bool" />

<ParamField path="override_net_name" type="str">
  When set on an interface, this will override the net name of the interface.

  This is useful for renaming nets which are automatically generated.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="required" type="bool">
  Only for ModuleInterfaces.
  If set to `True`, require that interface is connected to something outside
  of the module it's defined in.
</ParamField>

<RequestExample>
  ```ato Basic Usage theme={null}
  import I2C, ElectricPower

  i2c_bus = new I2C
  i2c_bus.frequency = 400kHz  # Fast mode
  i2c_bus.address = 0x48  # Device address

  # Connect power reference for logic levels
  power_3v3 = new ElectricPower
  assert power_3v3.voltage within 3.3V +/- 5%
  i2c_bus.scl.reference ~ power_3v3
  i2c_bus.sda.reference ~ power_3v3

  # Connect to microcontroller
  microcontroller.i2c ~ i2c_bus

  # Connect to I2C sensor
  sensor.i2c ~ i2c_bus
  ```
