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 ...

In 2003, the storage industry has taken major steps in transitioning from a decades-old interface technology to one that will potentially revolutionize the way new hard disk drives (HDDs) are designed ...

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 ...

Designers are often faced with moving serial data from one location to another, over moderate distances, and in the most efficient manner. Transmitting large blocks of parallel data originally ...
