A well-terminated serial point-to-point connection can easily support data rates of 1 Gbps and higher. In the above example, you can replace each 40-bit parallel backplane bus with a serial ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This 66-year-old precursor to USB refuses to become obsolete ...

The PCA9564 is an integrated circuit designed in CMOS technology that serves as an interface between most standard parallel-bus microcontrollers/microprocessors and ...

Sub-megabit serial buses can be found in most embedded FPGA designs. Multi-gigabit serial bus inclusion in FPGAs is gaining traction. Serial buses' ease-of-implementation, low cost, and ties with ...

My X31 had a parallel port, and there was a serial port on the optional UltraBase. I've never seen the UltraBase in person, but I expect it makes the X31 one thick but tiny footprint beast. I think PC ...
