The MCP23S08 is an 8-bit I/O expander with serial interface. This device offers 8-bit, general purpose, parallel I/O expansion for SPI applications. It has two hardware address pins and uses SPI ...

Local Interconnect Network (LIN) automotive bus systems are mainly placed in the body domain and we experience a constantly increasing number of nodes in the car. This article introduces the concept ...

The SC16IS741A 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 device comes in ...

Electronics is everywhere, especially these days. Many times, as frequent users, we do not even notice a “paradigm change” in the things we use on regular basis. We use a fridge, but we do not care ...

Using SPI interface to free FPGA routing resources is allowing over 90% utilization, fast timing closure and supports modular design approach without consequences. When doing designs with FPGA you are ...

We’ve seen a ton of projects that interface hardware with the Raspberry Pi. But they usually depend on bit-banging. That means they toggle the pins in software to match a specific protocol. The thing ...
