The real time clock PCF2129T uses a lithium battery as uninterrupted power source. The lithium battery presents while the system is powered down.&nbsp; Is it needed to use some bus isolation circuit to prevent back drive from the lithium battery throw lines SDA and SLC of I2C interface to input lines of MCIMX6X2AVN08AB microprocessor or the real time clock PCF2129T ensures an absence the back drive from the lithium battery to lines of an I2C interface?</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 14 Feb 2018 12:23:51 GMT https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors/IMX6SOLOX-I2C-backdrive/m-p/744275#M115845 victorafanasiev 2018-02-14T12:23:51Z https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors/IMX6SOLOX-I2C-backdrive/m-p/744276#M115846 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Anyway, since the real-time clock IC and the processor's I2C I/O pads are powered from differend supplies with potentially different voltages, the level shifting circuit must be used on the bus.
