 		 #173166 - Bus between modules
Hello all,

I have a question :

I have a device which excist of three modules. These modules have to be connected with a bus. Length of the bus is 1 meter at most and has low traffic. There’s communication every 50ms.
I prefer a 2- wire bus because I want to keep the numer of wires low between the modules
Each module has a microcontroller. I don’t want to use a UART or CAN or something simular.

So I was thinking about buffered I2c. The buffers (like LTC4307 ) also provide ESD protection and hot swapibility.

Is this a good choice?
