Hi I want to connect many devices like Serial EEPROM, ADC,DAC,RTC and many other I/O devices to 8051.
My question is how address mapping can be done ? How to address them??
Please reply i am in need.
"Which one is Better SPI/ I2C?? What are differences between them??"
Just stumbled across an article at www.embedded.com/.../OEG20020124S0116
It begins:
"Both SPI and I2C provide good support for communication with slow peripheral devices that are accessed intermittently. EEPROMs and real-time clocks are examples of such devices. But SPI is better suited than I2C for applications that are naturally thought of as data streams (as opposed to reading and writing addressed locations in a slave device). An example of a "stream" application is data communication between microprocessors or digital signal processors. Another is data transfer from analog-to-digital converters.
"SPI can also achieve significantly higher data rates than I2C. SPI-compatible interfaces often range into the tens of megahertz. SPI really gains efficiency in applications that take advantage of its duplex capability, such as the communication between a "codec" (coder-decoder) and a digital signal processor, which consists of simultaneously sending samples in and out.
"SPI devices communicate using a master-slave relationship. Due to its lack of built-in device addressing, SPI requires more effort and more hardware resources than I2C when more than one slave is involved. But SPI tends to be simpler and more efficient than I2C in point-to-point (single master, single slave) applications for the very same reason; the lack of device addressing means less overhead."
