This application note presents the process of converting a serial output into parallel output using common serial-to-parallel register integrated circuits. The document also discussed the CS556x/7x/8x ...

We’re always excited to get a new chip or SIM card to interface, but our enthusiasm is often dampened by the prototyping process. Interfacing any chip usually means breadboarding a circuit, writing ...

I'm a bit out of my league on this one. I need to take realtime data from a serial source and display it in a "retail display" type of fashion. My PLC sends data out via RS232 (I also have RF485 \ ...

A good multimeter (or a few of them) is an essential part of anyone’s electronics workbench. The only thing more useful than a multimeter is a logging multimeter that can take recordings over time.

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 ...

The MAX7219 is a compact, serial input/output common-cathode display driver that interface microprocessors (µPs) to 7-segment numeric LED displays of up to 8 digits, bar-graph displays, or 64 ...

Your friend is mistaken. This serial port he is talking about is called "CGA" and closely resembles a serial port. However it still requires a graphics card and a monitor! You can convert a CGA signal ...
