Important notice
NXP provides the enclosed product(s) under the following conditions:
This evaluation kit is intended for use of ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT OR
EVALUATION PURPOSES ONLY. It is provided as a sample IC pre-soldered to a
printed circuit board to make it easier to access inputs, outputs, and supply terminals.
This evaluation board may be used with any development system or other source of
I/O signals by simply connecting it to the host MCU or computer board via off-theshelf cables. This evaluation board is not a Reference Design and is not intended to
represent a final design recommendation for any particular application. Final device in
an application will be heavily dependent on proper printed circuit board layout and heat
sinking design as well as attention to supply filtering, transient suppression, and I/O
signal quality.
The goods provided may not be complete in terms of required design, marketing, and
or manufacturing related protective considerations, including product safety measures
typically found in the end product incorporating the goods. Due to the open construction
of the product, it is the user's responsibility to take any and all appropriate precautions
with regard to electrostatic discharge. In order to minimize risks associated with the
customers applications, adequate design and operating safeguards must be provided
by the customer to minimize inherent or procedural hazards. For any safety concerns,
contact NXP sales and technical support services.

Introduction
SC18IS604 is designed to serve as an interface between the standard SPI of a host
2
(microcontroller, microprocessor, chip set, etc.) and the serial I C-bus. This allows the
2
host to communicate directly with other I C-bus devices. SC18IS604 can operate as
2
2
an I C-bus master-transmitter or master-receiver. SC18IS604 controls all the I C-bus
specific sequences, protocol, arbitration and timing.
This document is intended to help the users to quickly setup, configure and operate the
SC18IS604-EVB evaluation board in the users’ hardware platform.

Getting to know the hardware
The SC18IS604-EVB board is designed to be connected to an external SPI master via
2
a 7-pin male (JP1) header. The SC18IS604-EVB evaluation board has an on-board I C
2
slave serial EEPROM and an I C slave LED blinker, which can be directly accessed by
the external SPI master via SC18IS604. The external SPI master can write, read, and
2
program the serial EEPROM/LED blinker without requiring an I C slave to be connected
to the board.
2
The 3V3 power for the evaluation board should be supplied via this I C interface header
as well.
2
The SC18IS604-EVB evaluation board also has an I C interface header (JP4) to allow
2
other I C slave devices to be connected to the SC18IS604-EVB evaluation board. These
