Frequently Asked Questions

What is the communication interface and maximum data rate for the Pmod CMPS2?

The module uses a standard I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) slave interface. It supports FAST mode operation with a clock frequency of up to 400 kHz for data communication with the host microcontroller, FPGA, or single-board computer.

Does the module include pull-up resistors for the I2C lines?

Yes, the Pmod CMPS2 features optional onboard pull-up resistors for the SCL (clock) and SDA (data) lines. These can be used or bypassed depending on your system's I2C bus configuration, providing flexibility for multi-device communication setups.

Can I connect multiple Pmod modules to a single host port?

Yes, the module includes a pass-through Pmod host port that supports daisy-chaining. This allows you to connect additional Pmod peripherals in a chain from a single host connector, simplifying cable management and system expansion.
