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 ...

To extend the bandwidth of parallel buses, designers must increase clock rates and widen data paths. However, these solutions entail high power consumption, increased real estate, high cost, increased ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
