Detailed explanation of UART, SPI and IIC and their differences and relations

UART, SPI, IIC and their differences and connections
UART: full duplex asynchronous serial
I2C: half duplex synchronous serial
SPI: full duplex synchronous serial
Bus synchronous or asynchronous: See if there is a clock line
The bus is serial or parallel: bit by bit transmission on the communication line is serial, and multiple data bits are parallel
1) simplex data transmission only supports data transmission in one direction; Only one party can receive or send a message at the same time, such as television or radio.
2) half duplex data transmission allows data to be transmitted in two directions, but, at a certain time, only data is allowed to be transmitted in one direction. It is actually a simplex communication with direction switching; Only one party can receive or send messages at the same time. Two-way communication can be realized. Example: Walkie-talkie.
3) full-duplex data communication allows data to be transmitted in two directions at the same time. Therefore, full-duplex communication is the combination of two simplex communication modes. It requires sending equipment and receiving equipment to have independent receiving and sending capabilities. At the same time, information can be received and sent at the same time, realizing two-way communication, for example: telephone communication.
