1 DESIGN OF WISHBONE INTERFACED I2CMASTER CORE CONTROLLER USING VERILOG Ramesh Babu Dasara 1, Y. Chandra Sekhar Reddy 2 1 Pursuing M.tech, 2 Assistant Professor, from Nalanda Institute of Engineering and Technology (NIET), Siddharth Nagar, Kantepudi village, Sattenepalli Mandal, Guntur Dist.,A.P. (India) ABSTRACT In this paper we are implementing one of the serial communication protocol called Inter integrated circuit (I2C) master controller. The protocol is made of set of standards with the master and slave configuration to allow data transfer. The I2C master with wishbone controller is implemented in Verilog HDL. The modules are synthesized in Xilinx 13.2i. Then simulated to observe the operation of the Master controller and wishbone controller which performs high speed data transfer in presence of master or slave. This yields higher speed data transfer over the network. Keywords: Master,Wishbone, SDA,SCK,SLAVE I. INTRODUCTION In electronic world to make communication between any two digital hardware devices needs serial communication standards. There are several communication standards are RS232, RS435, and SPI to make high speed and low speed data transfer. To implement protocols actually we require more number of pin connections, whereas the size of IC gradually decreasing so we need a protocol that can have minimum number of pin connections. The protocols existed earlier are SPI, MOCROWIRE and USB needs point to point connection such that needs multiplexing of data and address. The proposed protocol requires only two lines two communicate with nay number of devices while other needs more number of pin connections. The I2c is best suited for medium range communication between the circuit boards within the equipment. This is also used for control applications where certain device to be added and removed. The I2C is also used to communicate between the circuits using a cable or without cable. The I2C will have master and slave, the master whichsends data to slave will generate responses based on master controller signals. II. I2CPROTOCOL The I2C is vital for implementing low a data rate communications. The I2C bus made of bidirectional lines with pull up resistors. I2c will allow data transfer between many devices. It will allow us to connect certain devices to it with each and unique address to identify them. The data and address are the inputs to the controller, the external inputs clk,rst which starts the data transfer. The r/w signal is used to indicate which in transmission either master or slave. 151 P a g e

2 Fig 2.1 SDA AND SCK The physical I2C bus consists of simply 2 wires,called SCL and SDA. SCL is that the clock line. It is used to synchronize all information transfers over the I2C bus. SDA is that the information line. The SCL and SDA lines are connected to all or any devices on the I2C bus. As both SCL and SDA lines square measure "open drain" drivers they're pulled up victimisation pull up resistors. The I2C bus is claimed to be idle once each SCL and SDA square measure at logic one level. once the master (controller) desires to transmit information to a slave (DS1307) it begins by issuance a begin sequence on the I2C bus, that may be a high to low transition on the SDA line whereas the SCL line is high as shown in Fig 2(a).The bus is taken into account to be busy once thestart condition. once the beginning condition,slave address is distributed by the master. The slave devicewhose address matches the address that's being sent out by the master can respond with Associate in NursingMacknowledgement bit on the SDA line by propulsion the SDA line low. information is transferred in sequences of eight bits. The bits square measure placed on the SDA line beginning with the savings bank (Most vital Bit). for each eight bits transferred, the slave device receiving the info sends back Associate in Nursing acknowledge bit, therefore there are literally 9 SCL clock pulses to transfer every eight bit computer memory unit of knowledge this is shown in Fig-3. If the receiving device sends back an occasional ACK bit, then it's received the info and is prepared to simply accept another computer memory unit. If it sends back a high then it's indicating it cannot settle for from now on data and also the master ought to terminate the transfer by sending a STOP sequence. In Fig-2.1 that shows the STOP sequence, wherever the SDA line is driven low whereas SCL line is high. This signals the top of the group action with the slave device. III. PROPOSED I2C WITH WISHBONE The I2C master core supports the vital options represented within the I2C specification and is appropriate for many applicationsinvolving I2C slave management. the planning responds to the read/write cycles initiated by the microcontrollerthrough the wishing bone interface. It provides the right sequences of commands and knowledge to the I2C slave device and then transfers the specified knowledge from the I2C slave device through the 2 open-drain wires. The I2C master with wishing bone interface offloads the microcontroller from desperate to deal several details of the I2C commands and operation sequences. Table one lists the I/O ports of the planning. The signals ending in _i indicate Associate in Nursing input and people ending in _o indicatean output. All signals on wishing bone facet square measure synchronous to the master clock. the 2 I2C wires, scl and sda, should be open-drain signals and square measure outwardly force up to Vcc through resistors. 152 P a g e

3 Table3.1 Wishbone Signal Description The design has four main modules as shown in Figure3.1. These embrace one ranking module and 3 lower-level modules, that ar the register module, the computer memory unit module and somewhat module.in addition to connecting all the useful blocks along, this module generates byte-wide knowledge, acknowledgement, and interrupt for the wishing bone interface. reckoning on the parameter ARST_LVL, the reset polarity is determined and distributed to any or all the modules The 2bit by 8bit registers are presnet in the I2C core. This registers addresses will not be used for future reference. Table 3.2 Internal Registers The Prescale Register (address = 0x00 and 0x01) is employed to prescale the scl clock line supported the master clock. Since the planning is driven by a (5 x scl frequency) internally, the prescale register is programmed in keeping with the equation [master clock frequency / (5 x (sclk frequency)) - 1]. The content of this register will solely be changedwhen the core isn't enabled. Only 2 bits of the management Register (address = 0x01) ar used for this style. The MSB of this register is that the most critical one as a result of it allows or disables the complete I2C core. The core won't reply to any command unless this bit is ready.the Transmit Register and therefore the Receive Register share an equivalent address (address = 0x30) reckoning on the direction of information transfer. the info to be transmitted via I2C are keep within the Transmit Register, whereas the computer memory unit received via I2C is obtainable within the Receive register. The standing Register and therefore the Command Register share an equivalent address (address = 0x04). The standing Registerallows the watching of the I2C operations, whereas the Command Register stores consecutive command for consecutive I2C operation. in contrast to the remainder of the registers, the bits within the 153 P a g e

4 Command Register ar cleared mechanically when every operation. so this register has got to be written for every begin, write, read, or stop of the I2C operation. Table 3 provides a close description of every bit within the internal registers Fig 3.1 Block Daigram of the I2C Module State1 : AN idle condition: I2C bus doesn t perform any operation. (SCL and SDA remains high). State2 : begin condition: master initiates information transmission by providing begin (SCL is high andsda is from high to low). State 3 : Slave address - write: master sends theslave address-write ( ) to the slave. State 4 : If the slave address matches with the slave, it sends AN acknowledgement bit in responseto the master. State 5 : eight Bit Register Address[12] are going to be transmitted to the slave. once more acknowledgement is sent to the master by the slave. State 6 : information to be transmitted is distributed to the slave by the master. once receiving the information, slave acknowledges the master. State seven : Stop condition: Slave sends a stop bit to the master to terminate the communication (SCL is high and SDA is from Low to high). For playacting browse operation, write operation is performed 1st then browse operation is completed. Slave address for browse is (State seven won'tbe performed for browse operation) State eight : Master transmits slave address for browse operation to the slave. State nine : Master receives the information from the slave and acknowledges the slave. State ten : Master sends a STOP bit to terminate the connection (SCL is high and SDA is from Low to high). Fig- IV. SIMULATION RESULTS In this project we are implementing I2C master with Wish bone interface such that wishbone bus is the medium that will be used to connect between master and slave. That data which was sent by master will be given to the 154 P a g e

This combination will improve the performance of the design due to multi number of master and slaves that we can connect to the wishbone interface. The wishbone interface is a powerful media that will allow and control each devices connected to it such we can perform full duplex communication with only two signals which makes the design efficient than existed design. The wishbone interface, I2c master are designed using Verilog HDL. The RTL Design description is synthesised and simulated to check the operation in Xilinx ISE 13.2i. 157 P a g e
