You only really need two data wires to transfer a ton of data. Standards like UART, USB2, I2C, SPI, PS/2, CAN, RS232, SWD (an interface to program MCUs), RS485, DMX, and many others, all are a ...

We’re always excited to get a new chip or SIM card to interface, but our enthusiasm is often dampened by the prototyping process. Interfacing any chip usually means breadboarding a circuit, writing ...

Assume that you are moving towards a complex microcontroller project bundled with blinkers, beepers, and a display panel. To link a standard 16×2 LCD directly with the microcontroller, for instance ...

In the June and August 2003 issues of Linux Journal, my column covered the Linux kernel driver model, and the I2C subsystem was used as an example. This month, we discuss what the I2C subsystem does ...

I2C is a two wire, clock synchronized protocol with a bi directional data line and a uni directional clock line. Its simplicity lies in its use of only two lines for communication and its complexity ...

The fundamentals of the Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) interface, and its associated protocol. What made this simple, robust, chip-to-chip interface so useful for embedded system applications? How the ...
