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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Way back in the day, analog/digital converters (ADCs) had simple, parallel interfaces, either TTL or high-level CMOS. Many of these converters could be clocked down to zero samples/second: once you ...

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 ...
