Several of the Mid-Range Enhanced Core PIC16 microcontroller devices have a Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP). The MSSP module can be used to implement either I2CTM or SPI communications protocol.

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, ...

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 ...

It’s probably fair to say that anyone reading these words understands conceptually how physically connected devices communicate with each other. In the most basic configuration, one wire establishes a ...

I2C is a two-wire communication protocol known for its simplicity. Despite this reputation, I2C does have its challenges: a limited number of bits for a unique address can create address conflicts, or ...

Debuting as the industry’s first family of I2C-controlled switches that can connect multiple devices with the same address on a single bus, the PCA954x switches allow voltage level shifting between ...
