A small amount of on-chip analog-test hardware offers big payoffs when you are dealing with high-speed serial interfaces. As part of the serial-interface IP (intellectual property) or of an IP wrapper ...

A PC’s serial port provides signal lines that you can use to expand the number of input signals. With some additional circuitry tied to these lines, you can use the port to test digital TTL ...

High-speed-digital serial I/O links and DDR memory interfaces are presenting significant measurement challenges as fourth-generation standards emerge. As signals travel at ever higher speeds over ...

Practically everything you design these days includes some kind of serial interface. In fact, it’s hard to name something without a serial I/O port. Some of the more popular varieties are RS-232, ...

The storage industry this year began widespread implementation of serial-based technologies to replace parallel physical-interface standards (AT bus attachment, or ATA, and Small Computer Systems ...
