Bridge SPI and I2C interfaces with SC18IS604 to easily connect sensors, memory devices, and peripherals in mixed-protocol systems
SPI to I2C Click is a compact add-on board designed to enable communication between SPI and I2C interfaces, allowing a host microcontroller to control multiple I2C peripherals even without native I2C support. It is based on the SC18IS604, an SPI-to-I2C bridge from NXP.
KEY FEATURES:
- Click Snap: A feature of our standardized Click add-on boards, designed to help you reduce size, weight, and power consumption for final phase prototyping
- Protocol Bridging: The SC18IS604 acts as an interface converter, managing all I2C-bus operations (protocol handling, arbitration, and timing) to achieve reliable data transfer
- Interface Modes: Functions as an SPI slave supporting Mode 3 and provides a single I2C controller channel
- Communication Speeds: Supports SPI speeds up to 1.2MHz and I2C Fast-mode up to 375kHz
- Buffers and GPIO: Integrates 255-byte transmit and receive buffers and includes five GPIO pins for additional system control
- Power Management: Features Deep Power-Down mode with wake-up functionality triggered by the Chip Select (CS) pin
- Configuration: Includes onboard pull-up switches for easy I2C bus configuration, along with dedicated interrupt and reset pins
APPLICATIONS:
- Ideal for embedded applications requiring protocol bridging to connect different communication standards
- Used for connecting sensors, memory devices, or peripheral modules in systems where the host MCU primarily uses SPI but needs to interface with I2C components
- Suitable for MCUs that lack native I2C support but need to control I2C peripherals

ABOUT CLICK BOARDS™
Click boards™ follow a modular prototyping add-on board standard invented by MIKROE, which revolutionizes the way users add new functionalities to development boards. Click boards™ enable design engineers to change peripherals easily, cutting months off development time. To enable hundreds of Click board to be connected to the microcontroller or microprocessor, we have invented the socket standard - mikroBUS™. This uniform connection interface allows you to connect any Click board to a main board instantly. The company releases a new Click board nearly every day at 10am, and many leading microcontroller companies including Microchip, NXP, Infineon, Dialog, STM, Analog Devices, Renesas, and Toshiba now include the mikroBUS™ socket on their development boards.
ABOUT MIKROE
MIKROE is committed to changing the embedded electronics industry through the use of time-saving industry-standard hardware and software solutions. With unique concepts like Remote Access, One New Product/Day, Multi-Architectural IDE and most recently, the EmbeddedWiki™ platform with more than million ready-for-use projects, MIKROE combines its dev boards, compilers, smart displays, programmers/debuggers and 1850+ Click peripheral boards to dramatically cut development time. mikroBUS™; mikroSDK™; SiBRAIN™ and DISCON™ are open standards and mikroBUS only has been adopted by over 100 leading microcontroller companies and integrated on their development boards.
