The rapid adoption of high-speed serial interconnect in recent years have posed new challenges to design engineers. Many embedded systems engineers are facing designs with PCIe and Serial Rapid I/O, ...

With the TPI4000 protocol analyzer from Tektronix, you can analyze,stimulate, stress, and characterize high-speed serial links at speeds of up to10 Gbps. This single instrument, along with its ...

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 ...

Today’s high-end field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) with embedded transceivers support a variety of widely accepted serial protocol standards, including Gigabit Ethernet, PCI Express, XAUI and ...

If you’ve been involved with electronics and hardware hacking for awhile, there’s an excellent chance you’ve heard of the Bus Pirate. First introduced on the pages of Hackaday back in 2008 by creator ...

Serial adapters are devices that permit interfacing between a computer bus and a serial device. Serial adapters may only include two connectors, thus allowing one device to connect to one bus. Other ...

Here is a collection of content on the various serial I/O protocols and the interfaces for converting parallel 8-16-32-bit I/O into a more compact 1-2 bit serial form used in embedded systems design.

Serial servers are used to connect serial devices to networks, such as local area networks (LAN) or Ethernet. Serial servers are specifically designed to allow industrial devices to be directly ...

Serial ATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment or SATA) is a command and transport protocol that defines how data is transferred between a computer's motherboard and mass storage devices, such as ...
