sysnchronous communication

[snsriram79]

i would like to interface my microcontroller synchronously with my pc. i have tried asynchrounous communication ie rs232 and it works fine.

now i would like to learn sync communcation can someone help me

Hi.

They are some kind of sync interface that start from:
(in system)
2-wire :
like i2c ( one is the master other are slave)
clock , data(bidirectional)

4-wire:

like spi ( one is the master other are slave)
clock, data-in,data-out,rst

6-wire:

data-in, clock-in, sync-in
data-out, clock-out, sync-out


(out-system)
other wire interfaces.
like: t1-t3, e1-e3,isdn ,usb, etc...


as you see all the interface have the clock singnal and data for minimum
interface the other is for the specific protocol .

for more info tell more for your needs.

With sychronous comms, you have a common clock to both circuits.
Then they are sychronised!
You can go at much faster speeds because both circuits know were they are!
Unfortunately, the pc interface does not suport this, unless you write your own routines. You could use maybe CTS as the clock, and write some code to talk to the uart on the PC.

example

can u give link to sum site which has sum example on this synchronous communication with pc so that i can get the feel of it

Hi !
you can try www.beyondlogic.org There are some reviews of PC parallel port interfasing (datails are in IEEE 1284 Standard). In the EPP mode parallel port works quite fast (more than 500 kbytes/s ).

serial

i would like to learn synchrounous serial port communciation

anyway thanks

Sorry, as I know PC has no standard synchrounous serial port. As described btbass you must emulate it by standard serial or parallel port.

you must search the SPI (serial peripheral interface.)

PC harware has only UART (universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter)
you need USART chip for syncron communication.

But you can use some i/o pins and communicate other devices using software emulated shift register. But this different USART communication.

There is no standard sync port in the PC.
If you just want something simple and faster than RS-232, you can use the parallel port, where you can use some of the lines as data lines, and dedicate one line to be a strobe (clock) line.

You can check https://www.lvr.com/parport.htm for more details on parallel port programming
