[Jesus] is helping his cousin learn about microcontrollers. Right now they’re on the subject of serial communications, which turned into a nice way to add a Hackaday Easter Egg. Using and FTDI chip in ...

AC coupling using a series capacitor is a simple method for coupling multi-gigabit transmitters and receivers. It requires only one inexpensive passive component and eliminates complications due to ...

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 ...

Blistering speed distinguishes today's serial data transmission schemes. OEMs have already productized 2.5-Gbit/s and 3-Gbit/s designs, and 5-Gbit/s technologies are on the way, with 12-Gbit/s making ...

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 ...

Single-wire data transmission is useful when operating a multitude of disperse components if high speed isn’t a requirement, but there’s a need for flexibility. The approach reduces the number of ...

The electronics industry is in the midst of a dramatic shift away from traditional parallel communication standards and towards new, high-speed serial interface technologies. This transformation is ...
