Adding a fifth device to an SPI bus requires

  • A.an address to be assigned to the device
  • B.the clock frequency to be reduced by a fifth
  • C.another chip select line
  • D.another pair of data lines

Answer: C

Correct answer: another chip select line

SPI has no addressing: a device is selected by pulling its own select line low, so every additional device costs another pin on the master. That is the bus’s principal limitation and the main argument for I2C, which addresses devices in the protocol and so adds nothing per device. The clock and data lines are shared and need no change.
