Interfaces

interface, serial, Ethernet

Most embedded systems have to communicate. Although there are different communication standards, in practice they can be narrowed down based on a few criteria.

Special applications will of course demand for different protocols, but most cases can be covered by the following standards:


 
Wired 
Wireless 
Board level (low data rates) 
I2C*/ SPI* 
- 
Board level (high data rates) 
PCIe/ PCI* 
- 
Deeply embedded (low data rates)  
USB* (RS-232*) 
IEEE 802.15.4 with or without ZigBee 
Embedded 
Firewire 
Bluetooth* 
Full integration (high data rates) 
Ethernet* 
Wireless-LAN 
Industrial 
CAN* (with or without CANopen, DeviceNet, SAE J1931...)/ LIN/ Industrial Ethernet*  
ZigBee 

This table is only a coarse overview. Other aspects like integration into larger systems, price, power consumption, security, industry standards etc. are additional parameters to be considered.

Solcept will support you to find the right technology for your application. In the technologies marked with * we have implementation experience of our own.
