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 ...

We’re always excited to get a new chip or SIM card to interface, but our enthusiasm is often dampened by the prototyping process. Interfacing any chip usually means breadboarding a circuit, writing ...

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 ...

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 ...

Medical and industrial applications often require galvanic isolation of 2500 V ac or higher for the safety of patients and equipment operators. The isolation barrier conveys not only power to the ...

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 ...

Although the ubiquitous Mil-Std-1553 data bus is fast approaching middle age, data bus test, simulation and monitoring equipment boasts up-to-the-minute packaging and software. The new Airbus 380 ...

Portability is becoming a driving force in both consumer and professional media systems. The implementation of videoconferencing, videophones, Webcams and transportable hard-disk devices has given ...

Electronics is everywhere, especially these days. Many times, as frequent users, we do not even notice a “paradigm change” in the things we use on regular basis. We use a fridge, but we do not care ...

Chances are high that most of us deal with USB cables at least once a day. Whether that's because you're plugging in your phone to charge, or connecting a device to your PC, USBs are a common part of ...
