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

Understanding SPI, I2C, UART, I2S, GPIO, SDIO, and CAN

Bus Buses are everywhere. Signals in this world are the same, but there are thousands of buses, which can be quite confusing. In general, there are three types of buses: internal buses, system buses, and external buses. Internal buses connect various peripheral chips with the processor within a microcomputer; system buses connect plug-in boards with … Read more
