In 2003, the storage industry has taken major steps in transitioning from a decades-old interface technology to one that will potentially revolutionize the way new hard disk drives (HDDs) are designed ...

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 ...

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 ...

The company’s fifth generation USB-to-UART/FIFO ICs support the 480 Mb/s USB 2.0 Hi-Speed specification and are configurable in a variety of industry-standard serial or parallel interfaces such as ...

For more than 20 years, the parallel bus interface has been the mainstream storage interconnect for most storage systems. But increasing bandwidth and flexibility demands have exposed inefficiencies ...

For PCI bus interfacing, the OX16PC1952 brings together a PCI interface, two high performance serial channels, and a parallel port in one compact, 128-pin TQFP package. This integrated bridge device ...

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 ...

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 ...

For years now, ATA (also known as IDE and, in the last several years, as EIDE as well) has been the connection of choice for disk drives on the desktop. In enterprise IT rooms, SCSI devices represent ...

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 ...
