Logic analyzers, though originally intended for debugging parallel logic, remain important in the development of ultra-high-speed serial-bus hardware, even though the data rate of such buses often ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new device can increase its data transfer speed only so much before it becomes bottlenecked by the bus interface. Some devices are phased out slowly, like ESDI hard drives; others come and go in 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 ...
