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 ...

Here is a collection of content on the various serial I/O protocols and the interfaces for converting parallel 8-16-32-bit I/O into a more compact 1-2 bit serial form used in embedded systems design.

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 ...

The MCP23S08 is an 8-bit I/O expander with serial interface. This device offers 8-bit, general purpose, parallel I/O expansion for SPI applications. It has two hardware address pins and uses SPI ...

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 ...

At some point, you’ll need to test that interface. Before testing, though, you should consider these five key factors. Practically everything you design these days includes some kind of serial ...
