The rapid adoption of high-speed serial interconnect in recent years have posed new challenges to design engineers. Many embedded systems engineers are facing designs with PCIe and Serial Rapid I/O, ...

If you’ve been involved with electronics and hardware hacking for awhile, there’s an excellent chance you’ve heard of the Bus Pirate. First introduced on the pages of Hackaday back in 2008 by creator ...

Selecting the right oscilloscope need not be as complex as it is critical for successful chip development or board inter-operation With all the varieties and speeds of serial data communication ...

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 ...

Modern embedded systems are becoming increasingly compact, power efficient, and feature rich. As SoCs integrate more functionality, developers need reliable debug access without increasing pin count ...

Serial adapters are devices that permit interfacing between a computer bus and a serial device. Serial adapters may only include two connectors, thus allowing one device to connect to one bus. Other ...

Serial Line Interface Protocol (SLIP) is used for dial-up connections. It is a protocol that supports TCP/IP over serial communications lines where routers and gateways are not used. If you are using ...

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.

How to model, measure, and verify that high-speed transceivers meet the standard specifications and convergence of the adaptation equalizers and CDR to optimize the margins for various channels.

Serial ATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment or SATA) is a command and transport protocol that defines how data is transferred between a computer's motherboard and mass storage devices, such as ...
