Basics of the SPI Communication Protocol
circuitbasics.com talks about the SPI serial communications protocol: One unique benefit of SPI is the fact that data can be transferred without interruption. Any number of bits can be sent or received in a continuous stream. With I2C and UART, data is sent in packets, limited to...
