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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Everyone knows that the world is analog in nature, yet we insist on dealing with analog signals by digital means. Analog sensor outputs are quickly converted to digital form to improve noise immunity ...

Next year and following will see major growth in serial data streaming techniques in the interface microelectronics arena, as manufacturers continue to adopt the technology for intra-system ...
