A recent Texas Instruments insert in an engineering magazine describes the SN65HVS882 chip that can accept eight parallel inputs and serialize the digital information for an MCU's SPI port. Nothing ...

What is a serial port? Serial ports are generally built into the motherboard. This is why the connectors behind the casing that are connected to the motherboard by a wire cable can be used to connect ...

So I'm trying to detect through Visual Basic 6.0 when a voltage change occurs on one of the pins of the serial/parallel port. The whole thing is pretty simple; no data transfer/handshaking/etc needs ...

After a youth spent playing with Amigas and getting into all sorts of trouble on the school computer network, I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for hardware from the 80s and 90s. This extends ...

Abstract: As the technology advances, more systems are integrated on a System on chip (SoC), hence more units require interconnection. Different systems operate at different clocks. Since, in ...

The Story of Serial and Parallel Ports: The Ancestors of USB Before the universal USB ports we all know today, computers spoke through more primitive—but fascinating—channels: serial and parallel ...

While doing my usual surfing routine today, I came across an interesting read over at CNET. Some creative artists have made their mark in the oddest of places, a microchip. Some of the designs are ...

Getting data to a storage medium requires transmission. Parallel transmission has historically been the preferred way to write data to disk. But at current speeds, serial transmission can be faster ...

This converter may help if just the serial port on a personal computer is free, whereas the printer needs a parallel (Centronics) port. It converts a serial 2400 baud signal into a parallel signal.

How do I do this? I can't seem to find a piece of hardware that will emulate a proper Parallel port over USB, they all use "USB Printing Support". But im not trying to hook up a printer. I need it for ...

If you've been using computers for more than a couple of decades, you've probably used a serial port to attach peripherals like your mouse and modem. Until the USB standard rendered them obsolete in ...
