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 ...

Serial buses dot the landscape of embedded design. From displays to storage to peripherals, serial interfaces make communications possible. Many serial communication interfaces compete for use in ...

The SPI is an interface bus that is used to send data between microcontrollers, and/or other peripherals like sensors, flash and EEPROM memory, LCDs, SD Cards, Camera Lenses and many more. Being able ...

Suited for precise control and programming of up to six white/color LEDs, the CAT3626 LED driver includes an I 2 C serial bus interface that allows LED currents within each dual output channel bank to ...

The first parallel-to-serial I2C interface lets designers add I2C interfaces to any digital system. The PCA9564 controller provides a 400-kHz I2C serial bus and operates from 2.5 to 3.3 V. The chip is ...

USB is the de facto interconnection standard for low- to mid-range PC peripherals. The latest version, USB 2.0 moves USB from a 12-Mb/s peak bandwidth to a 480-Mb/s peak. USB 2.0 allows engineers to ...

Banner Engineering has created an eight-port smart hub to couple 16 discrete input-outputs to a single IO-Link serial bus cable for industrial networks. “R130C is a compact top-exit IO-Link hub that ...

Before 2000, desktop printers for business had one of two interfaces: serial and parallel. The type of interface dictated the type of cable you used to connect the printer to the PC and how fast the ...

In the relentless pursuit of higher performance at a system level, Integrated Device Manufacturers (IDMs) have become well versed in developing digital interfaces that are able to operate at high ...

We use the Bus Pirate to interface a new chip without writing code or designing a PCB. Based on your feedback, and our experience using the original Bus Pirate to demonstrate various parts, we updated ...
