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, ...

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 ...
