The __Inter-integrated Circuit (I%%sup 2%%​C) Protocol__ (pronounced ''I-squared-C''
) is a hardware serial interface (or "protocol") intended to allow multiple "slave" components to communicate with one or more "master" components. It used across many microprocessors and microcontrollers, including the [Raspberry Pi].
