  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. 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.

  4. 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 ...

  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. Kermit (protocol) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kermit_(protocol)

    Kermit is a computer file transfer and management protocol and a set of communications software tools primarily used in the early years of personal computing in the 1980s. It provides a consistent approach to file transfer, terminal emulation, script programming, and character set conversion across many different computer hardware and operating system platforms.

  7. 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 ...

  8. Computer terminal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_terminal

    IBM 2741, a widely emulated computer terminal in the 1960s and 1970s. (keyboard/printer) A computer terminal is an electronic or electromechanical hardware device that can be used for entering data into, and transcribing [1] data from, a computer or a computing system. [2] Most early computers only had a front panel to input or display bits and ...

  9. 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.
