PROTOCOLS: UART - I2C - SPI - Serial communications

[@avishjain4226]

That was a nice explanation! However, I want to mention few things 1. I2C is Half-Duplex (not Simplex) 2. SPI is Full Duplex 3. In I2C, we can configure the peripheral to both the modes - Acknowledge and No Acknowledge

[@elhoward7440]

SMBus and I2C are slightly different protocols using the same hardware. Isn't No Acknowledge actually SMBus?

[@AMG-gc4io]

what is I2C Protocol in Arduino Nano ?

[@knuckleduster05]

@@elhoward7440 no, ACK and NAK are both part of the I2C addressing protocol. When you write to a slave, the slave needs to pull down the SDA line to ACKnowledge that it is ready to receive communications.

[@thekitsunedev_hun]

@@AMG-gc4io Its the Wire.h library and the same pinout as the uno (A4,A5)

[@ksawery6568]

Also, I don't think you say Bauds/second, as 1 Baud = 1 bit/second

[@savage8336]

This is honestly one of the most helpful videos I've ever watched. I wish I saw this in school a few years ago.

[@mugglepower]

fuck schools man schools never teach you shit. of the 100% of content I learnt from college(in which my major MATSE is top 10 in US) probably 15% of the shit is actually useful. rest they just make you jump through hoops and run in circles and chase your own tail. I talked to professors and very smart people(well, smarter than me for sure) and they all tell me they purposefully make this shit difficult. I picked up more programming stuff in a month with my flipper zero than an entire semester worth of programming courses in college/. by the end I finished my college programming class i still have trouble fucking printing hello world but with interest and a bit of self learning I'm writing sql now.

[@AiJ_Alew]

I m not of this theme. Even dont know what that chips are for.... i m cab driver . Wanted just watch some fun on utube before sleep. And even I understood how these guys communicate😊 Really good lesson. I wish i could see that 50 years ago. Maybe that could change my life

[@puriap250]

Finally I understand how timing of serial communication works. Thank you.

[@pertileluca]

In every video your animations are a pleasure for the eyes!

[@elhoward7440]

PCIe uses serial lanes because of another advantage of serial, parallel interfaces suffer from signal skew of bits sent over traces of differing length, so the top clock speed of a serial bus can be higher than the top speed of a parallel bus. PCIe can have up to 16 serial lanes, but data is divided a byte at a time to each lane rather than a bit at a time. We have such good serdes chips now that serial is taking over.

[@rayhan8701]

this is the only video on the youtube which is very clean about protocols

[@arnavjain7564]

This is something I was really planning to study and the fact that you made a video on this at the perfect time is just awesomeee thanks😄

what a tutorial! wow thank you my friend!

[@cmfanz]

@electronoobs, just a little correction needed in the table at 10:27. I2C does have an acknowledge system. The slave will pull the SDA line low when it has successfully received the transmission from the master. This will show up as the last pulse that appears after all the data bits are transmitted. This last pulse will be a high if the master does not receive an acknowledge from the slave. This way, you can clearly get a confirmation of the handshake.

[@garrytuohy9267]

Nicely summarized. It would be interesting to see how JTAG compares with these protocols.

This is a really great video. I teach this in my intro to engineering class and this video is going to be a must watch addition to that lecture. Cheers.

[@AntoineAshraf]

Very nice video, just a few things to note - UART can work in both half/full duplex modes - There can be more than 1 stop bit in UART in some cases - I2C is a half-duplex protocol - SPI is a full-duplex protocol - The concept of acknowledgement in I2C is based on whether the slave is ready to receive data or not, so it's not applicable to generalize the term over I2C.

[@jvon3885]

I wish I would have paid more attention in school. But I'm glad ppl like you are around to whip me into shape.

[@neilbedwell7763]

Really concise summary. I had next to no idea of each of these implementations, or even much of an idea of their spec beyond a communication vector, so this becomes a very welcoming introduction and comparison

[@arijitghosh6378]

Thanks for simplifying these seemingly complex protocols for us. Up until now I kinda treated them as black boxes in my head to keep the complexity away but now it feels great to have a fundamental understanding of how they work. Although Id love to see a bit more explanation on SPI.

[@ayushkaiwart2451]

Easy understand videos. Its Better than the IOT class lectures that i attended in my college.

[@jonasduell9953]

Well, this sums it up greatly. I work a lot with digital signaling via I2C which usually come in a 4 pin layout, GND, VCC, SDA and SCL since active devices need an additional power source. Anyway, great content, subbed

[@abdullahkhan-qk3lk]

So far the Best Video i have seen on Communication Protocols! Amazing explanation bro!

[@lincolnkarim1]

Very clear explanation. If I may suggest--It may be worthwhile to draw the vertical sides of the pulses slightly slanted to remind us that the pulses are not ever square, but it takes time to climb from low to high and likewise to fall from high to low. I believe that the counting actually takes place at the middle of the slope (zero crossing) of the leading and trailing edges. Thanks for taking the time to produce this video.

[@kothamahesh100]

Its really a clear explanation with all the variations among communication protocols. Expecting vedios on CAN and JTAG. thanks for the vedio..

[@benhetland576]

Speaking of "bauds per second" is actually not very useful in this context, because the term "baud" itself actually means "state changes per second"! (Thus bauds/sec would technically be the _change_ in the rate of communication.) A change in state of a communication line may also - and often does - represent more than one bit, although for I2C and RS-232 it does indeed represent only 1 bit per (potential) state change, so its baudrate equals the bitrate or bps (bits per second).

[@kuukatti]

And also, I2C does not need to know the baud-rate beforehand, that's why we have a wire for a clock.

[@alteriaautomation6867]

yeeep

[@remus-alexandrusimion3439]

In most digital communications baudrate is bitrate. The difference applies to analog communication, where phase shift and multiple amplitudes can encode bits. And yes, all sync communication can lack the bit rate information since the clock establishes the bitrate. It is however usual to establish some margins for each device, and if master is outside those margins errors can occur (usually due to hardware timing restrictions of some other kind).

[@hansdegroot652]

So i2c could do adaptive baud rate? In theory at least

[@yasirrakhurrafat1142]

​@@hansdegroot652 i think you could develop a program on the sending and receiving device. That'd send a signal to the receiving device to change its baud rate (on the receiving device). On the uart communication system as well, although it'd take its sweet time for the changes to take effect. As for the i2c, itd be just about instantaneous. Soo, yes.. theoretically you could have adaptive baud rate on the i2c, although I think a predetermined, static rate should probably be more efficient and stable.

[@rgusso]

best video so far explaining protocols in a simple way! thanks for doing it!

[@whitenorthstar]

The best explanation I have come across thus far...thanks!

[@sanderd17]

Serial is slower in theory, but in practice, it's very hard to match the different bits up when using parallel communication. The faster your clock, the harder parallel communication becomes. With the clock speeds we have today, serial communication is without a doubt the most stable and fastest way. You can also double a serial link by doubling the wires. But unlike in parallel communicating, you don't have to synchronize the bits, you only have to synchronize after large portions of data have arrived. The fastest serial links (like gigabit ethernet, and USB C) , now use multiple wire pairs for serial communication.

[@greymind0072]

I respect and really appreciate the effort it would have taken for you to make such nice animations for explaining. Its a delight to see your work .

[@pavankumar270489]

I believe at 5:10 the start bit is the once which leaves the transmitter first and also reaches the receiver first. So the positioning of start bit in the video should be away from Tx and towards Rx.

You can have asynchronous communication with a clock. Look up Manchester bi-phase encoding. Because Manchester encoding works using edge transitions and not signal levels, the data can experience pulse width distortion, the clock is recoverable, and the data can still be recovered from the signal correctly.

[@TalkingGIJoe]

What is Simplex Transmission Mode? In this mode, we have unidirectional communication- meaning it’s a one-way street. Out of the two connecting devices, only one is capable of transmission- the other one is only capable of receiving. The simplex mode can always utilize a channel’s entire capacity for sending the data in a single direction. For Example - Traditional monitors and keyboards use the Simplex transmission mode. In this case, the monitor can only generate the output, and the keyboard can only introduce an input in the system. What is Half Duplex Transmission Mode? In this mode, every station can both- receive and transmit data- but not at the very same moment. When one of the devices sends information, the other one can only then receive it. It also happens vice versa because the transmission is not unidirectional. The half-duplex mode comes into play in those cases where we don’t need the transmission in both directions at the same moment. For Example - A walkie-talkie uses the Half-Duplex Transmission Mode. Here, we send messages in both directions, but the transmission still occurs in one direction at a time. What is Full Duplex Transmission Mode? In this mode, both the stations have the ability to both receive and transmit data simultaneously. The signals that go in one direction in a Full-Duplex mode share the link’s capacity with the signals that go in the other direction. Such kind of sharing can occur in two alternative ways: The transmission link must have two transmission paths that are physically separate- one of them for receiving and the other one for sending. The link can divide the capacity between the signals that travel in either of the directions. The Full-Duplex communication mode comes into play when one requires a continuous connection in both directions all the time. However, it needs to divide the channel’s capacity between both these directions. For Example - Telephone networks that establish communication between two people via a telephone line use the Full Duplex method. Here, the individuals can listen as well as talk at the very same time.

I have seen a thing called "over sampling rate" in the reference manual of stm32 MCUs for UART communication. Apparently it can sample the incoming data 8 or 16 times WHILE it is being transmitted to distinguish between noise and real data
