Is a bit error rate close to 1 just as desirable as one that is close to 0?

Let me explain the premise. If you have a communication system, and you know with a very good confidence margin what the bit error rate is, would you be able to exploit the properties of high bit ...

Why bother with even parity?

I am using an SPI peripheral in my application. The peripheral returns packets containing 15 data bits, plus an Even Parity bit for error detection. Therefore all zeros, and all ones both pass the ...
