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 ...

In designing and testing an embedded system, engineers need to provide a way for the various devices and subsystems on the system, such as DACs, low-speed ADCs, fan control chips, EEPROMs, and PLDs to ...

There are times when you don’t need much processing power for your project but you do need a lot of I/O pins. It often doesn’t make economic sense to choose a larger microcontroller just to get extra ...

When using the I2C bus protocol, the designer must ensure that the hardware complies with the I2C standard. This application report describes the I2C protocol and provides guidelines on debugging a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Inter integrated circuits (I2C) is a multi-master, low-bandwidth, short distance, serial communication protocol. Because of its simplicity and flexibility, I2C and its derivatives are widely employed ...

The EEPROM, ADC and RTC will require an interface for communication between them. Due to that I2C bus is used as an interface between EPROM, ADC and RTC. It is used to minimize system-level ...

I2C makes connecting multiple sensors to a Raspberry Pi straightforward by sharing just two pins for communication. With proper setup, scanning, and coding, you can integrate dozens of devices on a ...

Electronic hobbyist Jin Zhu based in San Francisco has started a Kickstarter campaign to create a new elegant TWI/I2C library for AVR Mega series MCU, which is available from just $5 and is expected ...
