We’re always excited to get a new chip or SIM card to interface, but our enthusiasm is often dampened by the prototyping process. Interfacing any chip usually means breadboarding a circuit, writing ...

You can readily meet many challenges if you employ a standardized serial data bus for your PCB designs. Such a bus occupies a smaller area on your board than would a parallel bus, it requires fewer ...

When looking at protocol information on a bus, an oscilloscope may not be the first instrument to come to mind�until now. As most engineers know, digital oscilloscopes are an indispensable ...

With serial-bus speeds in the gigahertz range, designers of chips and boards that communicate with and over these buses often incorporate equalizers at the bus interface. Equalizers, essentially ...

Serial buses appear in virtually all kinds of electronic products from cars and trucks to personal audio players and mobile phones. In addition to standard low-speed protocols such as I 2 C and SPI or ...

Abaco Systems has unveiled a new hardware and software bundle capable of performing the type of MIL-STD-1553 data bus visualization, analysis and recording that normally requires three different data ...

Lockheed Martin's Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter features a new 1394B serial data bus with three high-speed processors that will provide the future warfighter with a robust, triple-redundant air ...

As the CPU speed reaches 3GHz and beyond, the I/O performance of a PC has increasingly become the bottleneck of the overall system performance. Traditionally, the I/O- subsystems are connected to the ...

The industrial automation sector is rapidly advancing into the use of TCP/IP over Ethernet as a replacement for traditional data connectivity. Many of these devices implement application protocols ...
