Imagine you’re sending a piece of hardware to space on a satellite. Unless you’re buddy-buddy with NASA, it’s pretty unlikely you’ll ever be able to head up there and fix something if it goes wrong ...

When an air quality display project needed a display, [Inderpreet] looked into small character-based LCDs. [Inderpreet’s] chosen LCD used an I2C interface, which was new to him. Rather than shy away, ...

NXP Semiconductors’ family of level shifting bus buffers are detailed in this application note that discusses device operation, maximum cable length and frequency ...

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 would like to introduce the industry’s first no-offset I2C bus buffer to isolate capacitance and interface with all other bus devices. NXP Semiconductors introduced the PCA9525 and PCA9605 — the ...

The circuit shown can be used to interface multiple serial devices to the I2C bus, even if they lack the extended-addressing capability required. Information transfer be-tween I2C devices connected to ...

Maxim has introduced a chip to interface devices equipped with I2C or SPI bus connections to its ‘1-wire’ bus. Called DS28E18, it is intended to knock cost out of networks that connecting I2C and SPI ...

The EEPROM, ADC and RTC will require an interface for communication between them. Due to that I2C bus is used as an interface between EPROM, ADC and RTC. It is used to minimize system-level ...

Mobile handsets today contain a growing number of devices because customers continue to demand new types of applications and features. Both low- and high-end devices now include such integrated ...

In the 2.5 Linux kernel development series, a unified device driver model framework was created by Pat Mochel. This framework consists of a number of common structures and functions all device driver ...
