This converter may help if just the serial port on a personal computer is free, whereas the printer needs a parallel (Centronics) port. It converts a serial 2400 baud signal into a parallel signal.

Offering 32 channels in 44-lead, 7 mm x 7 mm QFN packages, the HV5523 and HV5623 high-voltage serial to parallel converters feature 32 bit shift registers, up to 16 MHz operation, 32 latches, and 5V ...

I have a microfiche reader that has a parallel output that connects directly to a Canon FilePrint 400 printer.<BR><BR>I would like to instead route this output to a computer, and essentially "scan" to ...

This is just a general question. I know, obviously, that there are RS-232 "serial ports" and IEEE 1284/Centronix ports "parallel ports," and that these are "digital" connections. Then you have things ...

Inputting multiple bits of information using a single entry pin of a microcontroller without the complexity of UARTs can prove useful. Such a scheme could allow scanning of a keyboard, mode switches, ...

There was a time when computers had parallel ports. For the hacker types, this meant an eight bit data port, and nine additional pins which could be interfaced with the real world via the 25 pin ...

Despite concerted efforts to kill them, serial ports are alive and well, especially in embedded system. True, most of them end in a USB port, these days, but there’s still a lot of gear with a DE-9 ...

3ware, Inc., a leading provider of switched RAID solutions, is shipping its latest family of RAID controller cards based on Serial ATA specifications - the Escalade 8500 series. The Escalade 8500 ...

Single-wire data transmission is useful when operating a multitude of disperse components if high speed isn’t a requirement, but there’s a need for flexibility. The approach reduces the number of ...
