Communication in Sensor Technology
SPI

What is SPI?

The SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) network protocol defines communication between microcontrollers and devices such as sensors as a master-slave interface for fast, reliable data transmission. It operates synchronously and in full-duplex mode, typically using four lines (MOSI, MISO, SCLK, CS/SS), with the master controlling the clock and slaves being physically selected via CS/SS.

The primary focus is on sensor technology in IoT and embedded systems, automation, the automotive industry, and consumer devices.

Our sensors are suitable for a wide range of industrial and mobile applications.

Key Features of SPI

  • Full-duplex mode for simultaneous data transmission in both directions
  • High data rates of up to 100 MHz with low latency and minimal overhead (without addressing)
  • Support for multiple slaves via dedicated CS/SS lines, scalable with bus expanders
  • Cost-effective interface – no driver ICs required, but only suitable for short cable lengths
