Parallel transmission has historically been the preferred way to write data to disk. But at current speeds, serial transmission can be faster and offers other advantages.

The parallel-serial transmission is performed using a shift register. The shift register, working together with a clock, will shift the register (containing all of the data presented in parallel) by ...

After the new millennium, the channels between the computer and its peripheral devices have switched from parallel to serial data transfer. Although it would seem that a parallel cable with ...

What are parallel ports? Parallel data transmission involves sending data simultaneously on several channels (wires). The parallel ports on personal computers can be used to send 8 bits (one octet) ...

The serializer translates the parallel data into a serial bit stream. Also, the serial I/O is designed to match a 50-Ω stripline or microstrip transmission line.

The "serial" part of the serial port's name describes how data is transmitted one bit at a time in a single line or "series." There were also parallel ports on computers that sent multiple bits ...

The MAX3950 is designed to convert 10-Gbps serial data to 16-bit-wide, 622-Mbps parallel data. Its ability to handle FEC data rates make the MAX3950 ideal for a variety of applications ...

Compared to standard parallel interfaces, the chip's serial interface can reduce the typical number of image data transmission lines from 18 lines to 4 lines, freeing up valuable real estate in ...

Before USB ports became standard on PCs, several devices connected through a serial port. They're obsolete in many ways, but they still see some use.
