Can we call I2C is self-clocked?

[irun2]

Hi friends,
This is confusing to me. The definition of self-clocking means the clock infomation is embedded in the data transmission.
From this view I2C is not self-clocked as there's a clock SCL running alongside the data.
But recently I've read "self-clocked I2C" in the functional block in a datasheet.
How to implement this? :?:

As you mention I2C by definition is not self-clocked.

or the designer means clock-less implementation, that means with only the I2C line without an "internal" system clock, the interface is able to respect the I2C protocol.

Thank you for the explaination.

What is the difference between "Self Clocking" and "I2C (Interface to clock?)"?

Thanks.

I2C is a protocol from Philips/NXP company.

Thanks RCA.

Can you briefly explain the difference between these?.

I am not aware of I2C.
If possible,compare self clocking and I2C.

Thanks for the Help.

No comparaison possible.
I2C is a standard protocol (seriously you don't know this wordwild Philips standard?)
self-clocked, is more generalist implementation way.
