Logic level shifting may be required when interfacing legacy devices with newer devices that use a smaller geometry process. For bidirectional bus systems like the I2C-bus, such a level shifter must ...
You only really need two data wires to transfer a ton of data. Standards like UART, USB2, I2C, SPI, PS/2, CAN, RS232, SWD (an interface to program MCUs), RS485, DMX, and many others, all are a ...
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 ...
In the June and August 2003 issues of Linux Journal, my column covered the Linux kernel driver model, and the I2C subsystem was used as an example. This month, we discuss what the I2C subsystem does ...
The fundamentals of the Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) interface, and its associated protocol. What made this simple, robust, chip-to-chip interface so useful for embedded system applications? How the ...
NXP Semiconductors’ family of level shifting bus buffers are detailed in this application note that discusses device operation, maximum cable length and frequency ...
