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 PCA9502 is an 8-bit I/O expander with I²C-bus/SPI host interface. The device comes in a very small HVQFN24 package, which makes it ideally suitable for hand-held, battery operated applications.

One common challenge is interfacing components that rely on distinct communication standards, such as I2C and SPI. An I2C to SPI converter bridges this gap, enabling reliable data exchange between ...

The SC16IS740/750/760 is a slave I²C-bus/SPI interface to a single-channel high performance UART. It offers data rates up to 5 Mbit/s and guarantees low operating and sleeping current. The SC16IS750 ...

Teaching people efficiently isn’t limited to transmitting material from one head to another — it’s also about conveying the principles that got us there. [Mara Bos] shows us a toolkit (Twitter, nitter ...

The I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) Bus invented in 1980 by Philips Semiconductors (NXP Semiconductors today) was a massive step forward in simplifying communications in embedded systems. It is a ...
