The availability of powerful I2C buffers that drive their I/Os on both sides to a nominal ground or ‘zero offset’ logic level allows the removal of noise introduced into one section of a larger bus ...

Figure 1 shows a typical converter schematic. The I2C bus is connected to PIN5 and PIN6, and the SPI bus is connected to PIN9, PIN10, PIN11, and PIN12. PIN8 is used to control the transmission ...

A lot of great ICs use I2C to communicate, but debugging a non-working I2C setup can be opaque, especially if you’re just getting started with the protocol/bus. An I2C bus scanner can be a helpful ...

An Inter-IC bus is often used to communicate across circuit-board distances. Here’s a primer on the protocol. At the low end of the spectrum of communication options for “inside the box” communication ...

Modern interface isolators integrate interface transceivers with an internal isolation barrier. Older designs, prior to this integration, use separate, standalone isolators in combination with ...

I2C is a two-wire, bidirectional bus protocol that enables effective communication between one master (or multiple masters) and one or more slave devices. It is a straightforward, half-Duplex, ...

Efficient traffic management in urban areas remains a significant challenge as vehicle density grows and infrastructure ...

We’re not quite sure what drove the development of this project, but [shapoco] has put together an intriguing device that reads I2C signals (Japanese Twitter link) which have been printed as black and ...

Guest columnist Christopher Gobok, product marketing engineer at Linear Technology believes that accurate power supply voltage and current monitoring is crucial to conserving power and guaranteeing ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Welcome to the Oscilloscope Triggering Advanced Course! In this series, I will walk you through the details of every ...
