A recently posted application note from Maxim Integrated Products, “Selecting and Using RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 Serial Data Standards,” examines these popular standards according to their ...

A popular means of reducing size and cost for any embedded design is to use a communication bus with fewer I/O pins. Moving from a parallel bus to a serial bus provides significant size and cost ...

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 ...

New applications are driving the need for wideband data converters with increasingly higher sampling frequencies and data resolutions. This article explores how the new JESD204B standard overcomes ...

The electronics industry is in the midst of a dramatic shift away from traditional parallel communication standards and towards new, high-speed serial interface technologies. This transformation is ...

It may come as a surprise to those trying to make their initial investigation into audio systems design that there is a de-facto standard for transferring audio data within a system. Despite the ...

For more than 20 years, the parallel bus interface has been the mainstream storage interconnect for most storage systems. But increasing bandwidth and flexibility demands have exposed inefficiencies ...

IP supporting the 65-nm process node allows 5Gbps data transfers and will be used in advanced semiconductor solutions for graphics, networking and data storage applications. SAN JOSE, Calif. — ...

The ability to ingest and output MPEG-2 streams via an asynchronous serial interface, or ASI, is one of the emerging advances in media storage. Media file servers offering an ASI-I/O provide more than ...

In his most recent column, “A SPIFI new idea,” Jack Gannsle expresses his pleasure in the capabilities of a new flash memory interface from ST Microelectronics, which uses a Serial Peripheral ...

Before 2000, desktop printers for business had one of two interfaces: serial and parallel. The type of interface dictated the type of cable you used to connect the printer to the PC and how fast the ...
