A SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS ARE PROVIDED FOR SELECTIVELY ISOLATING PARTICULAR ICs ON AN I²C BUS SYSTEM. SELECTIVE ISOLATION OF PARTICULAR ICs ALLOWS THE PARTICULAR ISOLATED ICs TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER AND/OR OTHER COMPONENTS AT A DATA TRANSFER RATE THAT IS GREATER THAN THE DATA TRANSFER RATE FOR THE I²C BUS SYSTEM. A SWITCH IS OPERATIVE IN ONE MODE TO SELECTIVELY ISOLATE AN AUXILIARY OR SEPARATE I²C PORTION CONTAINING THE ICs TO BE ISOLATED AND OPERATIVE IN ANOTHER MODE TO ALLOW THE AUXILIARY I²C PORTION TO BE PART OF THE MAIN I²C BUS SYSTEM PORTION. PROPER PULL-UP RESISTORS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SWITCH AID IN ALLOWING A FASTER DATA TRANSFER RATE BY SPEED UP OF THE LOW TO HIGH TRANSITION FOR OPERATION OF THE ISOLATED ICs. (FIGURE 3) |
