Happy Holidays!

Where can I find info on timing diagrams? I would like to learn them
because I am trying to learn PIC programming and also I2C bus, but I am
confuse with timing diagrams.

Any help?

Thanks!

Hello PeteS,

Thanks much for the kind reply! Do you know of a website with pictures
so I can understand more?

Timing diagrams show the relationships required between various signals
(when in a datasheet) for something to work. There are specific timing
statements such as 'setup time' (the amount of time data must be stable
before an active clock edge) and 'hold time' (the amount of time a
signal must remain stable after a valid clock edge).

They really aren't difficult to understand at all.

Cheers

PeteS

Hello,

I have that document and the timing diagrams are Greek to me -- for
now. For instance, I don't understand Figure 4 very well especially
when the timing diagrams "cross" each other. Can you explain?
Thanks!

Nice public email address.

You might want to review the I2C spec:

Think of them as being like what you'd expect to see on a scope if you
probed the pins.

The 'cross' as you call it on SDA, the serial data line, indicates
where the data state is meant ' allowed to change ( if it needs to ).
See the text note underneath and the relationship to SCL, the serial
clock. I.e. data shouldn't change when SCL is high.

Well, it's a chart of what happens when. The X axis is time, as if you
were timing a race, and the Y axis is the states of various signals
along that time-line.

What part is it that you're having trouble with?

Thanks,
Rich

Think of them as, a stack of a graphs of voltage against time
you'll need to use a fixed pitch font to read the rest of this
courier is a good choice.

_____ ____ ____ ____
\ / \/ \/
\________/\____/\____/

voltage ||voltage ||high||high|| high
is high ||is low || or || or ||

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ voltage is changing (or not)

Quote:
10ms >20ms

voltage B stays high for atleast 10ms after voltage A goes low
voltage A stat low for atleast 20ms after voltage b goes low
the rise time on voltage A is less than 5ms.


Bye.
