Introduction and Comparison of CAN, I2S, I2C, SPI, and SSP Buses

Introduction and Comparison of CAN, I2S, I2C, SPI, and SSP Buses

1. SPI BusThe Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus technology was introduced by Motorola and is a synchronous serial interface. Most MCUs (Microcontrollers) produced by Motorola, such as the 68 series MCUs, are equipped with SPI hardware interfaces. SPI is used for full-duplex, synchronous serial communication between the CPU and various peripheral devices. SPI can simultaneously … Read more
