When looking at protocol information on a bus, an oscilloscope may not be the first instrument to come to mind�until now. As most engineers know, digital oscilloscopes are an indispensable ...

You can readily meet many challenges if you employ a standardized serial data bus for your PCB designs. Such a bus occupies a smaller area on your board than would a parallel bus, it requires fewer ...

With serial-bus speeds in the gigahertz range, designers of chips and boards that communicate with and over these buses often incorporate equalizers at the bus interface. Equalizers, essentially ...

Serial buses dot the landscape of embedded design. From displays to storage to peripherals, serial interfaces make communications possible. Many serial communication interfaces compete for use in ...

Medical and industrial applications often require galvanic isolation of 2500 V ac or higher for the safety of patients and equipment operators. The isolation barrier conveys not only power to the ...

The Yokogawa SB5000 is a new oscilloscope-based serial bus analyser focused on in-vehicle serial bus protocols including FlexRay, CAN and LIN as well as providing UART, I2C and SPI trigger and ...

Other limitations of the serial bus included a limited length (several thousand feet or so) and a very limited bandwidth shared among many slave devices (effectively lowering the per slave bandwidth).

Portability is becoming a driving force in both consumer and professional media systems. The implementation of videoconferencing, videophones, Webcams and transportable hard-disk devices has given ...
