  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. IEEE 1394 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_1394

    Bitrate. 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 ...

  7. 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.

  8. Universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_asynchronous...

    Universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter. A universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART / ˈjuːɑːrt /) is a peripheral device for asynchronous serial communication in which the data format and transmission speeds are configurable. It sends data bits one by one, from the least significant to the most significant, framed by start and ...

  9. Serial cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_cable

    Serial cable. Serial cables are typically used for RS-232 communication. A serial cable or RS-232 cable is a cable used to transfer information between two devices using a serial communication protocol. The form of connectors depends on the particular serial port used. A cable wired for connecting two DTEs directly is known as a null modem cable.
