Which of the following are two most commonly used industry standards for interchip serial communications? Correct Answer I2C & SPI

Serial peripheral interface (SPI) and inter-integrated circuit (I2C) are the two standard synchronous serial protocols that are widely used and accepted for serial communication

Inter Integrated Circuit (I2C):

  • I2C is a serial communication protocol. It provides good support to the slow devices, for example, EEPROM, ADC, and RTC etc.
  • I2c is not only used with the single board but also used with the other external components which have connected with boards through the cables.
  • I2C is basically a two-wire communication protocol. It uses only two-wire for communication. In which one wire is used for the data (SDA) and other wire is used for the clock (SCL).

Advantages of I2C

  • It is the synchronous communication protocol, so no need of precise oscillators for the master and slave.
  • It requires only two-wire, one wire for the data (SDA), and other wire for the clock (SCL).
  • In I2C bus, each device on the bus is independently addressable.
  • It provides the flexibility to the user to select the transmission rate as per the requirements.

Serial peripheral interface (SPI):

  • ​The serial peripheral interface is four wire-based full-duplex communication protocol these wire generally known as MOSI (master out slave in), MISO (master in slave out), SCL (a serial clock which produces by the master) and SS (slave select line which use to select specific slave during the communication).
  • SPI is supported only multi-slave does not support multi-master and slaves are selected by the slave select signal.
  • In SPI during the communication data is shifted out from the master and shifted into the slave vice- versa through the shift register.

​Advantages of SPI:

  • There is no start and stop bits, so the data can be streamed continuously without interruption.
  • It supports full-duplex.
  • No need for precision oscillators in slave devices as it uses a master’s clock.
  • Higher data transfer rate than I2C (almost twice as fast).
  • Simple software implementation.

You have to decide which of the arguments is/are ‘strong’ arguments and which is/are ‘weak’ arguments and accordingly choose your answer from the alternatives given below each question. Statement: In the wake of globalization and digitization of the manner in which the business are conducted, the IT/ITES industry holds a significant place in the future business scenario. The Economic Survey 2017-18 mentioned that the IT/ITES services industry in India has scaled to around $140 billion during 2016-17. India today is globally the top outsourcing destination accounting for more than half of the market share. The IT/ITES industry has contributed around 7.7% of the country's GDP and according to IBEF is a key employment generator with a projection of creating 1.3-1.5 lakh new jobs annually. Which among the following arguments support the above statement in the best possible manner? Arguments: I. The Government has also provided considerable inputs to the industry with its various flagship programmes such as Digital India, Smart Cities, e-Governance coupled with a drive towards a cashless economy. II. The Government has been pro-active in considering demands of the industry and providing timely respite from the teething troubles under GST as well.  III. The IT/ITES industry is a labour intensive industry and a large scale employment generator. It is a common practice across the industry to provide various privileges and facilities to their staff in order to boost employee retention rates in their organisation.
