SPI is however not useable as a bus. You need a specific chip select pin line for every chip you communicate with. But yes I like SPI much better as well.

It works as a bus when the chip manufacturer is nice enough to add a couple of address pins. Unfortunately not all that commonly done.

I have never seen that actually. But also have never looked. I have used a binary decoder to achieve the same thing though.

E.g., HMC983, and some of the former Peregrine (now Toshiba) parts.

You could always use an i2c gpio expander <ducks>
