We’re always excited to get a new chip or SIM card to interface, but our enthusiasm is often dampened by the prototyping process. Interfacing any chip usually means breadboarding a circuit, writing ...

If you’ve been involved with electronics and hardware hacking for awhile, there’s an excellent chance you’ve heard of the Bus Pirate. First introduced on the pages of Hackaday back in 2008 by creator ...

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 ...

Serial buses dot the landscape of embedded design. From displays to storage to peripherals, serial interfaces make communications possible. Many serial communication interfaces compete for use in ...

The Power Management Bus (PMBus) protocol, a simple and powerful open industry specification, is a step towards unifying communication standards for digital power-management systems and power ...

The emphasis on high-definition production, distribution and play-out is presenting another set of evolutionary challenges to the video server marketplace. Up until the last few years, the focus was ...

Agilent Infiniium Oscilloscopes provide many of the features of protocol analyzers such as decode listings and protocol specific triggering. However, a good question is “If protocol analyzers already ...

“In addition, serial bus decoding in Agilent InfiniiVision Series Oscilloscopes is based on hardware technology to provide a near real-time update of protocol decoding,” he continued. “Most scopes ...
