7. Understand and Apply Basic Communication Protocols in the Design of Digital Communication Systems
Communication protocols define the essential rules for data exchange between devices within digital communication systems, ensuring reliability, efficiency, and security. They establish compatibility and provide mechanisms for error detection, synchronization, and flow control. Various fundamental protocols, such as UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, and USB, each serve unique roles based on speed and application in different systems.
