What is SPI?

SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) is a synchronous serial communication interface used for short-distance communication, primarily in embedded systems. It enables microcontrollers to communicate with one or more peripheral devices such as sensors, memory chips, and displays. SPI uses separate clock and data lines, along with a select line to choose the target device. It is commonly used due to its simplicity and speed compared to other serial interfaces.

What other technologies are related to SPI?

SPI Competitor Technologies

I2C is a serial communication protocol, like SPI, often used for short-distance, low-bandwidth communication. It can be considered a competitor as it provides an alternative serial communication method, with different trade-offs in terms of speed, complexity, and number of devices supported.
