[Yann]’s DYPLED entry into this year’s Hackaday Prize isn’t very useful to most people. It’s a tiny module that connects to a 16-bit parallel bus, and displays a hexadecimal number on a few LEDs. It’s ...

Excellent read bandwidth and low access latency has made NOR Flash the technology of choice for real-time code execution from non-volatile memory. Parallel NOR devices continue as the memory of choice ...

SAN MATEO, Calif. — Rambus Inc. formally rolls out its Redwood logic interface technology Monday (Feb. 17), showing parallel buses still have plenty of headroom despite an industry rallying around ...

Why the need for PCI Express?As processor clock speeds increase, parallel buses such as PCI become harder to implement. Signal skew and fan-out restrictions restrict the bandwidth achievable on a ...

A parallel bus is the simplest architecture. It's easy to add peripherals, but the bus bandwidth then needs to be shared when servicing them. Bus bandwidth often limits peripherals. However, some ...
