EDN Access-04.24.97 Serial backplanes supplant parallel buses in fast systems - EDN Design Design How-To ...

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 ...

In 2003, the storage industry has taken major steps in transitioning from a decades-old interface technology to one that will potentially revolutionize the way new hard disk drives (HDDs) are designed ...

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 ...

Many attempts have been made over the last 46 years to rewrite Amdahl’s law, a theory that focuses on performance relative to parallel and serial computing. One scientist hopes to prove that Amdahl’s ...

Serial I/O technologies are pushing further into computing, as Intel encourages the switch away from the PCI-bus and existing memory buses. The microprocessor firm said PCI-Express will be standard ...

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 ...

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 ...
