SPI Communication with PIC Microcontroller – MPLAB XC8

Ligo George — Mon, 01 May 2017 08:01:32 +0000

SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) is a full duplex synchronous serial communication interface used for short distance communications. It is usually used for communication between different modules in a same device or PCB. SPI devices communicates each other using a master slave architecture with a single master. SPI is called as a 4-wire bus as it requires […]

I²C Communication with PIC Microcontroller – MPLAB XC8

Ligo George — Mon, 11 Apr 2016 17:02:37 +0000

I2C or IIC or I2C stands for Inter-Integrated Circuit. It is a very popular multi-master, multi-slave serial communication interface developed by Philips. I2C uses two bidirectional open drain data lines, Serial Data (SDA) and Serial Clock (SCL) with pull up resistors as shown below. Unlike UART, you can connect and communicate to multiple devices using the same […]

Using UART of PIC Microcontroller – MPLAB XC8

Ligo George — Fri, 03 Oct 2014 11:01:27 +0000

UART stands for Universal Asynchronous Receiver / Transmitter. It is a very popular serial communication interface which provides Full Duplex communication between two devices. UART uses two data lines for sending (TX) and receiving (RX) data. Ground/Reference of both devices should be made common. As the name indicates it is an asynchronous communication interface, which […]
