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, ...

The maximum distance of an I2C bus depends on the capacitive loading. In typical applications, the length is limited to a few meters in standard mode. This is because a system has to be built to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Communicating with microcontrollers and other embedded systems requires a communications standard. SPI is a great one, and is commonly used, but it’s not the only one available. There’s also I2C which ...
