An Inter-IC bus is often used to communicate across circuit-board distances. Here’s a primer on the protocol. At the low end of the spectrum of communication options for “inside the box” communication ...

In embedded systems, SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) and I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) protocols are both used for communication between microcontrollers and other integrated circuits. Which of ...

If you’ve ever debugged a misbehaving I2C circuit, you probably know how frustrating it can be. Thankfully [Jim] over at Hackaday.io, has a proto-boardable circuit that can help! Inter-integrated ...

Check out LIN and I2C for low speed networking needs. They are often better alternatives than SPI or CAN for many applications. The serial peripheral interface (SPI) and universal asynchronous ...

The I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) Bus invented in 1980 by Philips Semiconductors (NXP Semiconductors today) was a massive step forward in simplifying communications in embedded systems. It is a ...

Delivers the flexible, multiple-peripherals simplicity of I2C and the faster, lower-latency communication of SPI in a single, efficient, easier-to-use IP core Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey — September 5, ...

Custom or proprietary digital protocols are commonly used in today's world for device or sub-system communication in everything from Aerospace to Consumer Electronics. Many of these applications also ...
