What is a serial port? Serial ports are generally built into the motherboard. This is why the connectors behind the casing that are connected to the motherboard by a wire cable can be used to connect ...

So I'm trying to detect through Visual Basic 6.0 when a voltage change occurs on one of the pins of the serial/parallel port. The whole thing is pretty simple; no data transfer/handshaking/etc needs ...

For PCI bus interfacing, the OX16PC1952 brings together a PCI interface, two high performance serial channels, and a parallel port in one compact, 128-pin TQFP package. This integrated bridge device ...

Early microcomputers typically consisted of a half dozen (or more) circuit boards--plugged into a backplane--that implemented the central processor unit (CPU), memory, disk controllers and ...

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 ...

Serial ports were dropped before parallel ports were - my old R52 has a parallel port but not a serial port. A quick look at that list shows that the last Thinkpads that had the ports were the A31 and ...

This converter may help if just the serial port on a personal computer is free, whereas the printer needs a parallel (Centronics) port. It converts a serial 2400 baud signal into a parallel signal.

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 ...

The Centronics interface is also called Extended Capability Port (ECP) or Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP). This is an interface that simultaneously transfers bits of binary data (sets of 1 and 0) in ...

You all know that there are a number of serial ports in your personal computer. The serial ports act as interface which allows transfer of information between the computers. The first serial port is ...
