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.
TI’s MSP430 chips are rather interesting – they’re low power, very capable, and available for under a dollar in most cases. Some of these chips, though, don’t have native SPI or I2C interfaces; ...
The Two-Wire Serial Interface (TWI) is compatible with Philips I2C protocol. The bus allows simple, robust, and cost-effective communication between integrated circuits in electronics. The strengths ...
We’re always excited to get a new chip or SIM card to interface, but our enthusiasm is often dampened by the prototyping process. Interfacing any chip usually means breadboarding a circuit, writing ...
The range of high-performance, power-efficient embedded computing modules has never been broader, making it more difficult for developers to find the best fit.
