As applications have grown in complexity, serial buses have begun to supplant parallel buses. One of the advantages of a serial bus over parallel bus is the small number of signal lines required. Also ...

Sub-megabit serial buses can be found in most embedded FPGA designs. Multi-gigabit serial bus inclusion in FPGAs is gaining traction. Serial buses' ease-of-implementation, low cost, and ties with ...

A lot of great ICs use I2C to communicate, but debugging a non-working I2C setup can be opaque, especially if you’re just getting started with the protocol/bus. An I2C bus scanner can be a helpful ...

Version 4.0 of the Inter-IC (I 2 C) bus is widely used in embedded system designs, and has been used for communications and control applications in thousands of integrated circuits. What’s also ...

When looking at protocol information on a bus, an oscilloscope may not be the first instrument to come to mind�until now. As most engineers know, digital oscilloscopes are an indispensable ...

If you’ve ever debugged a misbehaving I2C circuit, you probably know how frustrating it can be. Thankfully [Jim] over at Hackaday.io, has a proto-boardable circuit that can help! Inter-integrated ...

Digital designers reach for an oscilloscope as the tool of first choice for debug. As products under development can have a myriad of issues to debug, oscilloscopes with versatility give faster ...
