Serial, I2C, USB, CAN und Ethernet

Interfaces with serial communication enable data exchange between computers and peripheral devices or components. These interfaces are characterized by the transmission of data in bit sequences. However, different synchronization methods between the sender and receiver, as well as access procedures to the transmission medium, are used. Furthermore, these interfaces differ in their application area: CAN, for example, was developed for automotive applications, while Ethernet is used for LAN applications.
