Differences and Similarities Between SPI and QSPI: What is the QSPI Protocol and Its Applications

Differences and Similarities Between SPI and QSPI: What is the QSPI Protocol and Its Applications

1. What is QSPI? The SPI protocol actually includes three types of protocol interfaces: Standard SPI, Dual SPI, and Queued SPI, corresponding to 3-wire, 4-wire, and 6-wire configurations respectively. (1) Typically, when we refer to SPI, we mean Standard SPI, which has 4 signal lines: CLK, CS, MOSI, and MISO. The data line operates in … Read more

In-Depth Analysis of the I2C Communication Bus: Physical Structure, Communication Structure, Timing, Protocol, and Operational Process

In-Depth Analysis of the I2C Communication Bus: Physical Structure, Communication Structure, Timing, Protocol, and Operational Process

I2C is a synchronous, half-duplex serial communication bus protocol used for connecting low-speed peripherals. The main features include: Two-wire system: SCL clock line and SDA data line Multi-master and multi-slave: Supports multiple master and slave devices, but only one master is allowed at any given time. Addressing: Each slave device has a unique address Speed: … Read more

Understanding the Key Points of I2C Hardware Design

Understanding the Key Points of I2C Hardware Design

1. I2C Protocol I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) is a serial communication bus, known in Chinese as the integrated circuit bus. It uses a multi-master/slave architecture and was designed by Philips in the early 1980s. Each device on the I2C bus can act as a master or a slave, but typically there is only one master device … Read more

Introduction to RS232 Serial Communication Protocol

Introduction to RS232 Serial Communication Protocol

Click the blue text Follow us 1. Introduction to Serial Communication Protocol The concept of serial communication is very simple; it is a method of communication that sends and receives bytes bit by bit. Although serial communication is slower than parallel communication, which transmits data by bytes, it can achieve data transmission using only two … Read more

Understanding and Application of UART Interface

Understanding and Application of UART Interface

First, we need to know what UART is? UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) is a common asynchronous serial communication interface that is widely used in electronic circuits. The UART interface function circuit is generally integrated within the chip, and it can be used directly if the selected microcontroller chip has this function. The mystery of the … Read more

The Invisible Communicator in Servers: I2C Bus

The Invisible Communicator in Servers: I2C Bus

IntroductionIn server rooms, thousands of hardware devices operate day and night, but have you ever wondered:How does the CPU know the fan speed? How does the memory module “sense” its own temperature? These seemingly simple functions rely on a so-calledI2C “invisible communicator”. It acts like an invisible “highway”, enabling efficient collaboration among chips, sensors, memory, … Read more
