iC-BL is the interface IC for the One-Cable Technology BiSS Line. It is applicable on both sides of the interface and provides full BiSS Line Master and Slave functionality. iC-BL enables a robust data transmission with high availability between serial interfaces (e.g. SPI and BiSS). Thus, it is suitable for various applications e.g. integration of a BiSS C sensor into BiSS Line and robust communication between two MCUs via 2- or 4-Wires.
