Many laser printers last for years, so businesses often keep older laser printers around even after upgrading other hardware. Many older laser printers use a parallel port interface rather than the ...

(1) A hardware interface that transfers one or more bytes simultaneously. See parallel interface. (2) A socket on a computer used to connect a printer or other device via a parallel interface (eight ...

For portable-sensing and data- acquisition applications, a laptop computer and its parallel port (LPT) make good bedfellows. Yet in the effort to extend battery life, many microprocessors and entire ...

I have a PC-based DSO that connects via parallel port that I'd like to get working via USB (preferable) or at least ExpressCard. I picked up a USB-parallel adapter from MicroCenter thinking it would ...

Parallel port access changed significantly between Win95 and WinNT - in '95 it was possible for user programs to directly twiddle parallel port bits but NT made that impossible (only a driver can ...

[Pulko Mandy] doesn’t use his flash ROM programmer very often, but he does use it. When he tried to get support for a new chip and the manufacturer suggested he just buy a newer version he decided to ...

This application note explains how to interface parallel ADCs to ADSP-21365 SHARC® processors. The parallel ADC considered in this application note is the AD7865. The two schemes described in this ...

In most sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (ADC) applications, the serial data transfer occurs through a serial port. A microcontroller configures the serial port as required—setting the baud ...

The RapidIO specification isn't new to the communication sector. This spec has been long talked about and implemented as an interconnect for linking DSPs, microprocessors, and other components in a ...

We have gotten accustomed to seeing Thin Film Transistor (TFT) displays and touch screens on everything from pads, to phones to tablets. While captivating and rightly so, not every application can ...

Iomega’s Zip drives filled an interesting niche back in the 1990s. A magnetic disk that was physically floppy-sized, but much larger in capacity– starting at 100 MB, and reaching 750 MB by the ...
