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 in SDH/SONET ...

This low-power IC makes possible serial backplanes that boost the performance of Internet routers, switches, and optical networks. Serial data communications rates keep rising as the pressure for ...

SerDes (serializers/deserializers) are devices that can take wide bit-width, single-ended signal buses and compress them to a few, typically one, differential signal ...

Before 2000, desktop printers for business had one of two interfaces: serial and parallel. The type of interface dictated the type of cable you used to connect the printer to the PC and how fast the ...

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 ...
