[Jesus] is helping his cousin learn about microcontrollers. Right now they’re on the subject of serial communications, which turned into a nice way to add a Hackaday Easter Egg. Using and FTDI chip in ...

A given transmission on a communication channel between two machines can occur in several different ways. The transmission is characterized by the direction of the exchanges, the transmission mode, or ...

Designers are often faced with moving serial data from one location to another, over moderate distances, and in the most efficient manner. Transmitting large blocks of parallel data originally ...

AC coupling using a series capacitor is a simple method for coupling multi-gigabit transmitters and receivers. It requires only one inexpensive passive component and eliminates complications due to ...

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 ...

Single-wire data transmission is useful when operating a multitude of disperse components if high speed isn’t a requirement, but there’s a need for flexibility. The approach reduces the number of ...

New applications are driving the need for wideband data converters with increasingly higher sampling frequencies and data resolutions. This article explores how the new JESD204B standard overcomes ...
