You can readily meet many challenges if you employ a standardized serial data bus for your PCB designs. Such a bus occupies a smaller area on your board than would a parallel bus, it requires fewer ...

When looking at protocol information on a bus, an oscilloscope may not be the first instrument to come to mind�until now. As most engineers know, digital oscilloscopes are an indispensable ...

With serial-bus speeds in the gigahertz range, designers of chips and boards that communicate with and over these buses often incorporate equalizers at the bus interface. Equalizers, essentially ...

Serial buses appear in virtually all kinds of electronic products from cars and trucks to personal audio players and mobile phones. In addition to standard low-speed protocols such as I 2 C and SPI or ...

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 ...

A shared channel that transmits data one bit after the other over a single wire or fiber; for example, Ethernet uses a serial bus architecture. The I/O bus from the CPU to the peripherals is a ...

Other limitations of the serial bus included a limited length (several thousand feet or so) and a very limited bandwidth shared among many slave devices (effectively lowering the per slave bandwidth).

Lockheed Martin's Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter features a new 1394B serial data bus with three high-speed processors that will provide the future warfighter with a robust, triple-redundant air ...
