Logic analyzers, though originally intended for debugging parallel logic, remain important in the development of ultra-high-speed serial-bus hardware, even though the data rate of such buses often ...

The Xtreme Bus Emulator (XBE) VXI-bus emulator allows the emulation of a digital parallel or serial bus by downloading a unique micro-code that defines the bus protocol scheduled for execution. It ...

The PCA9661 is a fourth generation single master mode I²C-bus controller intended for data intensive I²C-bus data transfers. This device has a single I²C-bus channel with up to 1 Mbits/s of data rates ...

The emphasis on high-definition production, distribution and play-out is presenting another set of evolutionary challenges to the video server marketplace. Up until the last few years, the focus was ...

A new device can increase its data transfer speed only so much before it becomes bottlenecked by the bus interface. Some devices are phased out slowly, like ESDI hard drives; others come and go in a ...

Increasing numbers of motherboards carry PCI Express slots. James Morris explains why this new serial bus standard is replacing the older PCI parallel bus and how the move benefits video editors When ...
