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 ...

Explore how control and data buses enable seamless transmission and timely, synchronised imaging for high-performance ...

While there are many ways to connect components in embedded systems, the most prominent are the high speed serial standards of Ethernet, PCI Express, and RapidIO. All of these standards leverage ...

For example, the vintage IDE bus is being replaced by SATA (Serial ATA) and the parallel SCSI bus by SAS (Serial Attached SCSI). In the case of PCI and PCI-X, a serial replacement called PCI-Express ...

A faster-switching parallel bus consumes more power and is much more difficult to route, given that timing tolerances are reduced. For example, system designers often have a very difficult time ...

It’s a tiny module that connects to a 16-bit parallel bus, and displays a hexadecimal number on a few LEDs. It’s useful if you’re diagnosing a problem on a computer from 1982, but just barely.
