A communication system and method enabling bi-directional I2C communications is disclosed. In the communication system having a master and at least one slave that communicate with each other through an I2C bus comprising a Serial Clock line (SCL) and a Serial Data line (SDA), the master and slave are directly connected on an interrupt line, and, if the slave sends to the master an interrupt requesting communications, the master performs communications with the slave through the SCL and the SDA. Therefore, the communication system and method enables slaves to generate an interrupt to request communications to the master, so bi-directional communications between microprocessors can be achieved in a simple hardware implementation.
