Way back in the day, analog/digital converters (ADCs) had simple, parallel interfaces, either TTL or high-level CMOS. Many of these converters could be clocked down to zero samples/second: once you ...

After the new millennium, the channels between the computer and its peripheral devices have switched from parallel to serial data transfer. Although it would seem that a parallel cable with multiple ...

This is just a general question. I know, obviously, that there are RS-232 "serial ports" and IEEE 1284/Centronix ports "parallel ports," and that these are "digital" connections. Then you have things ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Practically every electronic product made today uses one or more serial data interfaces. A serial interface is the ...

As the sample rate and resolution of today’s data converters increase, new high-density techniques for the digital data interface are being developed to cope with the large number of signals and high ...

Just back from the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre (EPCC), where I had a most interesting conversation with some of the people behind the Maxwell experimental high performance computer. That's ...

I have been working with computers since the late 70s, and that's not for boasting purposes, but to tell you where I come from. When I started, I was always told to NEVER plug/unplug the following ...
