Hey,

I want to be able to use 3.3V logic on my I2C lines of CY8Ckit-059, however I still want to be able to have my KitProg plugged in and get data from it and continue to be able to program my PSOC. Is this possible? How do I do it?

Hi,

Note: Dear /odissey1-san, please correct me if I'm wrong

SDA pin and SCL pin are configured as open-drain, so it will not be driven to High (5V).

So "IMHO", as far as you connect only SDA, SCL and GND to CY8CKIT-059 and

you pull-up SDA and SCL lines with 3.3V, the 3.3V logic group will be fine and

PSoC can access I2C without destroying the 3.3V logic group.

amcl,

Port 12 on KIT-059 is a Special pins (SIO), which can serve as logic level translator for I2C operating at 3.3V , while the rest of PSoC is at 5V. Please read AppNote on SIO use

https://www.cypress.com/documentation/application-notes/an60580-sio-tips-and-tricks-psoc-3-psoc-5lp

Note that I2C communication requires 10k pull-up resistors on both SCL and SDA lines for proper operation.

Motoo,

Yes, this should work as long as pins are set to open drain drives low.
