Serial-data links embed clocks in their data streams, and those clocks must be recovered at the receiver end. This Design Idea describes a data/clock-recovery algorithm for an NRZ (non-return-to-zero) ...

This application note presents data transfer between serial link and TCP/IP link using eZ80F91 microcontrollers. The application runs the Zilog TCP/IP (ZTP) Software Suite and accepts the incoming ...

Outputting data from a microcontroller over a serial port is convenient and easy, but formatting, visualizing, and analyzing the data can be tedious and frustrating. [Alex Spataru] knows this all too ...

Electronics is everywhere, especially these days. Many times, as frequent users, we do not even notice a “paradigm change” in the things we use on regular basis. We use a fridge, but we do not care ...

The circuit shown in Figure 1 provides a simple, low-power means of digitizing analog signals and sending the data directly to a PC's serial port where it can easily be read, analyzed, and stored. The ...

As the CPU speed reaches 3GHz and beyond, the I/O performance of a PC has increasingly become the bottleneck of the overall system performance. Traditionally, the I/O- subsystems are connected to the ...

New waveform scanning techniques developed during the past year have made the task of troubleshooting automotive serial data designs systematic and precise. Several techniques support rapid ...
