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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Traditionally, external SRAMs feature a parallel interface. Given the memory requirements for most of SRAM-based applications, it’s no surprise that parallel is a better option. For the high ...

Now an ECMA standard (ECMA-342), RapidIO is poised to make an impact in embedded environments. It incorporates features like error management and reco-very and ...
