+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Em pcf
+driver provides support to the Philips PCF8584 I2C controller for the
+.Xr iicbus 4
+system.
+.Pp
+The PCF8584 is an integrated circuit designed in CMOS technology which serves
+as an interface between most standard parallel-bus
+microcontrollers/microprocessors and the serial I2C-bus.
+The PCF8584
+provides both master and slave functions.
+Communication with I2C-bus is
+carried out on a byte-wise basis using interrupt or polled handshake.
+It
+controls all the I2C-bus specific sequences, protocol, arbitration and timing.
+The PCF8584 allows parallel-bus systems to communicate bidirectionally with
+the I2C-bus.
