I2C Slave Addressing with 7-bit, 8-bit, and 10-bit
The NXP (formerly Philips) I2C specification specifies various slave addressing schemes
The I2C bus in the automotive sector
Since the I2C components such as EEPROMs have to withstand more difficult environmental influences and higher requirements, various IC manufacturers offer components specially made for this purpose.
RF front end control interface in the automotive sector
The interface simplifies configuration and integration and facilitates interoperability of components supplied by different vendors.
The SPI bus in the automotive sector
SPI ICs have to meet high requirements due to difficult environmental conditions, therefore various IC manufacturers offer devices especially designed for this purpose.
Universal Serial Bus (USB)
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is an industry standard that establishes specifications for cables and connectors and protocols for connection, communication and power supply between computers, peripheral devices and other computers.
SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface)
Motorola invented the SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) serial Bus to be able that microcontroller could be connected with peripheral devices or even that microcontroller could be connected to each other.
The I3C bus in the automotive sector
I3C has a dynamic address assignment process that standardizes a simple method of recognizing, listing and assigning addresses.
Enhanced Serial Peripheral Interface (eSPI)
Industry leader Intel defines the new eSPI standard as an improvement in data transactions with lower power consumption and lower costs.
CAN (Controller Area Network) bus
Due to the robustness of the CAN, the CAN technology has conquered other industries where high reliabiltiy is a must.
UART vs SPI | Differences and Similarities
While UART and SPI both support full-duplex communication, both use “serial” communication in some way, and they are both only suitable for short-distance use cases, there are not too many similarities beyond that.
A2B Automotive Audio Bus
Automotive Audio Bus (A2B) from Analog Devices, enables the next generation of infotainment systems in the fast-changing automotive industry.
I2C vs SMBus | Differences & Similarities
