Abstract
An apparatus for resolving conflicts happened between two I2C slave devices with the same addressed address is provided. The apparatus is composed by all cheap electronic devices, so as to achieve a purpose of lowering a cost for design. In addition, in the apparatus for resolving conflicts happened between two I2C slave devices with the same addressed address of the invention, all the IC slave devices are addressed by an IC master device to perform the data transmission subsequently before a basic input/output system (BIOS) completes a power-on self-test (POST), but all the IC slave devices are addressed by a system chip (for example, a baseboard management controller (BMC)) to perform the data transmission subsequently after the BIOS completes the POST. Therefore, the purpose of performing the data transmission for all the IC slave devices on real time is achieved.
