If you have the IIC memory read routine APP note, you are all set. It is
the
same thing.

You have to bit-bop them from software. For some reason Microchip only
implemented the I2C slave side in hardware.
Any I2C memory I/O program will work. Attached is a version from Parallax's
FTP site.

Reason is that you must pay Philips a royalty on masters implemented in
hardware. Can anyone confirm that. I read it somewhere on the net.

Actually, it was a silicon cost tradeoff that the I2C is slave only.
Royalties are due whenever I2C is implemented in silicon.
Some of the newer devices, such as 17C756, have master mode I2C. The
master mode requires substantilly more logic as well as a baud rate
generator to be added to the device, so expect to pay a little more.
Rgds, Brian.

Although I have not done it myself, it would seem that the 16C74 can, already,
do most of the work for master-mode I2C if you don't mind sacrificing an I/O
pin. Simply send the start condition manually, then use the SPI hardware to
clock out 8 bits, then do the acknowlegement by hand, then clock in or out 8
more bits, etc.

This might actually work. I would try setting the SDO line to input during
a read operation, so as to allow the SDI line to get the data from the slave
chip. If I recall, the TRIS registers must be set properly during SPI I/O.

Brian,
I heard that there will be an 8 pin 12Cxxx part with I2C slave
on board.
Is this an ugly rumour?
