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, ...

UART is commonly found in microcontrollers, computers, and peripheral devices. MAX14830ETM+ is a UART interface IC that was designed for bridging microprocessors with SPI/MICROWIRE or I2C ...

Today’s high-end field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) with embedded transceivers support a variety of widely accepted serial protocol standards, including Gigabit Ethernet, PCI Express, XAUI and ...

Solutions for asynchronous serial communication between systems or subsystems include many possible interface implementations – for example, RS-232, RS-485, RS-422, controller area network (CAN), ...

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.

Enter the Multi-Protocol SerDes (Serializer/Deserializer)—a flexible, reusable IP block that allows a single PHY to support multiple serial communication protocols, such as PCIe, SATA, Ethernet, USB, ...

LaunchPad dev boards from Texas Instruments are cheap and easy to program, making them a great Arduino alternative if you can do without some of the bells and whistles. [ech0s] put his to good use by ...

I love my little Japanese clock with its radio update feature. Except when, every few months on a clear night, it picks up a time signal from Japan and I (eventually) wake up with a clock that's four ...
