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 ...

New gigabit (per second) bus and interconnect technology solves significant problems that were inherent in older technologies but increases the importance of digital engineers becoming comfortable ...

Getting data to a storage medium requires transmission. Parallel transmission has historically been the preferred way to write data to disk. But at current speeds, serial transmission can be faster ...

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 ...

The Xtreme Bus Emulator (XBE) VXI-bus emulator allows the emulation of a digital parallel or serial bus by downloading a unique micro-code that defines the bus protocol scheduled for execution. It ...

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 ...

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 ...

Parallel- and serial-type telephone systems refer to the way telecommunication devices route data. This can affect the way you set up multiple equipment on a single telephone socket. It's of ...

If you've been using computers for more than a couple of decades, you've probably used a serial port to attach peripherals like your mouse and modem. Until the USB standard rendered them obsolete in ...

After the new millennium, the channels between the computer and its peripheral devices have switched from parallel to serial data transfer. Although it would seem that a parallel cable with multiple ...
