  2. Serial port - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_port

    Serial port. A male D-subminiature connector used for an RS-232 serial port on an IBM PC compatible computer along with the serial port symbol. A serial port is a serial communication interface through which information transfers in or out sequentially one bit at a time. [1] This is in contrast to a parallel port, which communicates multiple ...

  3. RS-232 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-232

    In telecommunications, RS-232 or Recommended Standard 232 [1] is a standard originally introduced in 1960 [2] for serial communication transmission of data. It formally defines signals connecting between a DTE (data terminal equipment) such as a computer terminal or PC, and a DCE (data circuit-terminating equipment or data communication ...

  4. Serial digital interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_digital_interface

    Serial digital interface (SDI) is a family of digital video interfaces first standardized by SMPTE (The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) in 1989. [1][2] For example, ITU-R BT.656 and SMPTE 259M define digital video interfaces used for broadcast -grade video. A related standard, known as high-definition serial digital ...

  5. Serial communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_communication

    In telecommunication and data transmission, serial communication is the process of sending data one bit at a time, sequentially, over a communication channel or computer bus. This is in contrast to parallel communication, where several bits are sent as a whole, on a link with several parallel channels. Serial communication is used for all long ...

  6. Serial Peripheral Interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Peripheral_Interface

    Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a de facto standard (with many variants) for synchronous serial communication, used primarily in embedded systems for short-distance wired communication between integrated circuits. SPI uses a master–slave architecture, described here with the terms "main" and "sub", [note 2] [1] where one [note 3] main ...

  7. IEEE 1394 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_1394

    1394a, half-duplex 100–400 Mbit/s (12.5–50 MB/s) 1394b and later, full-duplex 800–3200 Mbit/s (100–400 MB/s) IEEE 1394 is an interface standard for a serial bus for high-speed communications and isochronous real-time data transfer. It was developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s by Apple in cooperation with a number of companies ...

  8. COM (hardware interface) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COM_(hardware_interface)

    COM port (DE-9 connector). COM (communication port) [1][2] is the original, yet still common, name of the serial port interface on PC-compatible computers. It can refer not only to physical ports, but also to emulated ports, such as ports created by Bluetooth or USB adapters.

  9. Serial Attached SCSI - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_attached_SCSI

    Yes. In computing, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is a point-to-point serial protocol that moves data to and from computer-storage devices such as hard disk drives and tape drives. SAS replaces the older Parallel SCSI (Parallel Small Computer System Interface, usually pronounced "scuzzy" [3][4]) bus technology that first appeared in the mid-1980s.
