Before 2000, desktop printers for business had one of two interfaces: serial and parallel. The type of interface dictated the type of cable you used to connect the printer to the PC and how fast the ...

A data channel that transfers digital data in a serial fashion: one bit after the other over one wire or fiber. Serial interfaces may have multiple lines, but only one line is used for data. The other ...

Serial buses dot the landscape of embedded design. From displays to storage to peripherals, serial interfaces make communications possible. Many serial communication interfaces compete for use in ...

The SPI is an interface bus that is used to send data between microcontrollers, and/or other peripherals like sensors, flash and EEPROM memory, LCDs, SD Cards, Camera Lenses and many more. Being able ...

Modern embedded systems are becoming increasingly compact, power efficient, and feature rich. As SoCs integrate more functionality, developers need reliable debug access without increasing pin count ...

Transmitting high-speed data over a cable or printed-circuit-board (PCB) path will significantly attenuate and distort the signal. Transmission paths are usually transmission lines that introduce ...

Dozens of serial data interfaces are used today. Most have been developed for specific applications. A few have become universal, such as I 2 C, CAN, LIN, SPI, Flex, MOST, and I 2 S. Then there’s ...

Thanks to the relatively low cost of the Raspberry Pi and high resolution LCD screens, “smart displays” have become a favorite project of those looking to clear out their parts bins. Just hook the Pi ...

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 ...
