A system for increasing the data throughput of an I2C bus including a serial clock conductor () for conducting a serial clock signal (SCK) and a serial data conductor () for conducting a serial data signal (SDA) includes clock-stretching control circuitry () coupled to the serial clock conductor () for stretching the serial clock signal (SCK) by holding the serial clock conductor () at a predetermined level to cause a master device () to stop sending the serial clock signal, and circuitry (FIG.) in the slave device () for releasing stretching of the serial clock signal (SCK) in response to a determination by the slave device () that stretching of the serial clock signal (SCK) is unnecessary.
