A data channel that transfers digital data in a serial fashion: one bit after the other over one wire or fiber. Serial interfaces may have multiple lines, but only one line is used for data. The other ...

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 ...

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 ...

For years now, ATA (also known as IDE and, in the last several years, as EIDE as well) has been the connection of choice for disk drives on the desktop. In enterprise IT rooms, SCSI devices represent ...

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 ...

If you are a software and hardware developer working with serial ports, you often need a reliable serial port monitor that allows you to capture, display, analyze, record, and replay all serial port ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. As technology has advanced, the types of ports on computers have also changed for the better. However, that doesn't mean devices with older ...

Touted as the smallest 3.3V multi-protocol serial port for LANs and WANs, the LTC2846 and 2844 interface transceivers integrate switchable termination. Operating together from a single 3.3V supply, ...

Octal flash memory, or octal data transfer interface, utilizes eight data lines for input and output operations, resulting in significantly higher data transfer rates compared to serial, dual, and ...

The 7I64 serial I/O card provides 24 isolated, 48-VDC, 2.5-A output drivers. All output drivers are low-saturation-voltage MOSFETs, which have low power dissipation. Each of the 24 output switches is ...
