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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The MAX3950 is designed to convert 10-Gbps serial data to 16-bit-wide, 622-Mbps parallel data. Its ability to handle FEC data rates make the MAX3950 ideal for a variety of applications in SDH/SONET ...

This low-power IC makes possible serial backplanes that boost the performance of Internet routers, switches, and optical networks. Serial data communications rates keep rising as the pressure 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 ...

After the new millennium, the channels between the computer and its peripheral devices have switched from parallel to serial data transfer. Although it would seem that a parallel cable with multiple ...
