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 ...

After a youth spent playing with Amigas and getting into all sorts of trouble on the school computer network, I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for hardware from the 80s and 90s. This extends ...

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 ...

This application note presents the process of converting a serial output into parallel output using common serial-to-parallel register integrated circuits. The document also discussed the CS556x/7x/8x ...

The company’s fifth generation USB-to-UART/FIFO ICs support the 480 Mb/s USB 2.0 Hi-Speed specification and are configurable in a variety of industry-standard serial or parallel interfaces such as ...

This converter may help if just the serial port on a personal computer is free, whereas the printer needs a parallel (Centronics) port. It converts a serial 2400 baud signal into a parallel signal.
