Play around with electronics long enough, and eventually you’ll run into I2C devices. These chips – everything from sensors and memory to DACs and ADCs – use a standardized interface that consists of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
