Abstract
The memory capacity for storing address information etc. of an I2C communication instrument, as well as the number of encoders and decoders can be reduced. A communication device to establish communication between a first I2C communication instrument and a second I2C communication instrument connected to a communication partner device, includes: an encoder that generates Header Packet Data including a target ID of the communication partner device and I2C Packet Data including a slave address and an offset address of the second I2C communication instrument; a communication unit that transmits a transmission packet including the Header Packet Data and the I2C Packet Data generated by the encoder to the communication partner device by a TDD communication scheme and receives a reception packet from the communication partner device by the TDD communication scheme; and a decoder that generates the I2C Packet Data from the reception packet.
