Logic analyzers, though originally intended for debugging parallel logic, remain important in the development of ultra-high-speed serial-bus hardware, even though the data rate of such buses often ...

Standard parallel-bus structures are reaching their performance limits. The only way to increase system bandwidth is to switch to a serial-bus structure. Although serial structures promise enhanced ...

The first parallel-to-serial I2C interface lets designers add I2C interfaces to any digital system. The PCA9564 controller provides a 400-kHz I2C serial bus and operates from 2.5 to 3.3 V. The chip is ...

Today’s digital systems, from the video game console to the complex switching elements in a communications network, rely on serial bus technology to do their job. Not surprisingly, a host of ...

This is just a general question. I know, obviously, that there are RS-232 "serial ports" and IEEE 1284/Centronix ports "parallel ports," and that these are "digital" connections. Then you have things ...

A shared channel that transmits data one bit after the other over a single wire or fiber; for example, Ethernet uses a serial bus architecture. The I/O bus from the CPU to the peripherals is a ...

Serial buses dot the landscape of embedded design. From displays to storage to peripherals, serial interfaces make communications possible. Many serial communication interfaces compete for use in ...
