Introduction Author: Aazim Hassan cover photo: depositphotos.com Current loop output sensors are used to transmit data over long distances without dropping the sensor output value. Signal conditioning is performed at the receiving end to analyze and measure the output value....

There are  a lot of different LCD display interfaces depending on the requirements of resolutions, speed, cost, stability etc.  The following outlines the common ones on the market: Parallel vs Serial Interface Parallel interface could transmit many data bits at the same time...

Two challenges field engineers face is the need to go around with multiple connectors and cables, and the ESD/over-voltage challenges faced when interfacing with high voltage devices. With the desire to help solve these challenges, Melbourne-based hardware designer Ali Slim, got to work...

Jesus Echavarria @ jechavarria.com has build a 4 in 1 USB Serial converter based on MCP2221A. This board is mainly a USB hub with 4 USB to serial converters. Is like the typical USB to TTL adapter but with one USB port you get up to 4 serial ports. Levels of every converter are...

If you have used some form of hardware especially those legacy ones or something like the Arduino and other embedded systems you must have come across the term Serial Port, FTDI chip, USB to Serial, or RS232 at some point. So what are those? Well, they mean the same thing - Serial...

A board that transforms your SSD1306 OLED Display into an RS232 monitor with HTML built-in parser. Now live on kickstarter. My-SSD1306 allows you to connect any device equipped with RS232 to the I2C SSD1306 displays. My-ssd1306 board should be put between the RS232 source and...

Mini Isolated Power Supply is designed for CAN, RS-485, RS-422, RS-232, SPI, I2C, Low-Power LAN applications. The power supply provides +/- 5.50 V DC symmetrical outputs with load current 500mA from 5V DC input. The project is built using SN6505A IC from Texas instruments. The SN6505A...

by Len Sherman @ edn.com: The June 23, 1988 issue of EDN included a Maxim Design News insert where we asked "Who in their right mind would choose a computer interface standard that uses ±12V supplies, requires expensive connectors, works over a limited distance, is error prone,...
