Sharing peripheral between two MCUs
11:26 19 Jan 2026

Is there a way to interface a temperature sensor peripheral with two MCUs via some ICs? How efficient it will be? In this age of AI i tried searching on LLMs but all result seems made up. Please let me know if there is any reference schematic for the same.

One way is I connect two MCUs over UART/I2C and communicate each other about who is using the temperature sensor.

Thanks,
