Competitive Landscape

Owing to the presence of very few renowned I2C bus manufacturing companies, the competition among Western European players is relatively low. However, the emergence of many small players in recent years that design and manufacture I2C bus products has increased the competition to some degree.

European electronics and semiconductor circuit manufacturers frequently work with universities, research centers, and other tech firms. This encourages the sharing of information, creativity, and the creation of cutting-edge I2C solutions and is expected to encourage start-ups to enter the sector.

Recent Developments Observed in I2C Bus in Western Europe

  • In August 2023, Würth Elektronik released a new application note titled "ANP121 - Filter and Surge Protection for I2C-Bus," providing helpful guidance for its clients. This Application Note aims to offer an appropriate filter and protection circuit to enhance the circuit bus's immunity to noise while maintaining the signal quality of both data and clock lines. However, expanding the interface through cables or connections may expose the circuit bus to external interference, including bursts, radiated radio frequency, and electrostatic current discharge.
  • In August 2021, NXP Company released its new product 'SC18IS606,' designed to act as an interface between an SPI bus and a microcontroller's conventional I2C bus. The microcontroller's I2C-bus has been designed to establish direct communication with SPI devices, functioning as both an SPI controller and an I2C-bus target-transmitter or target-receiver. The SC18IS606 features three SPI chip select outputs that may be set as GPIO and has its own internal oscillator to manage bus-specific timing, protocol, and sequencing.
