Applications of Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
- Serial Peripheral Interface is a the communication protocol that finds the various domain of the applications for simplicity, capabilities of high speed transformation and flexibilities.
- SPI is extremely used for the Embedded Systems for the communication between the peripheral devices of the system and the microcontroller. Common applications are including the communicate with the sensors like temperature sensors, accelerometers, gyroscopes, actuators like motors and servos, memory devices like EEPROMs and flash memory, and displays like LCDs and OLEDs, etc.
- SPI can also be used for the Internet of Things (IOT) applications. It is employment to the connection of the microcontrollers or IOT modules to the various sensors and the actuators. Let us consider an example for the usage of IOTs in real world environment, SPI can used to interact with the environment sensors for the monitoring of the temperature such as humidity, and other usages of home appliances and industrial IoT applications.
- SPI can be mainly used in the Wireless communication modules to interface the microcontrollers with wireless communication devices like Wi-fi devices, Bluetooth devices. These types of devices required high-speed communication for transferring and receiving data without wire connection. SPI can provides the transferring data between the wireless devices and the microcontrollers.
- SPI can be commonly used for the Display Interface to employed in the various display types and also the graphical displays like Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROMs). SPI can be enabled to the sufficient to the reading and writing the data to non-volatile memory devices, it makes to suitable for the settings of the storing configuration, program codes, etc.
What is Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)?
A Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) facilitates short-distance communication between peripheral integrated circuits and microcontrollers. In this article, we will understand the components of SPI, applications of Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), and more.
