This converter may help if just the serial port on a personal computer is free, whereas the printer needs a parallel (Centronics) port. It converts a serial 2400 baud signal into a parallel signal.

The HV509 is a 200V, 16-channel serial to parallel converter. The high voltage outputs and the backplane driver are designed to source and sink ±1.0mA. The high voltage outputs are controlled by a ...

After a youth spent playing with Amigas and getting into all sorts of trouble on the school computer network, I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for hardware from the 80s and 90s. This extends ...

Offering 32 channels in 44-lead, 7 mm x 7 mm QFN packages, the HV5523 and HV5623 high-voltage serial to parallel converters feature 32 bit shift registers, up to 16 MHz operation, 32 latches, and 5V ...

Designed to drive printers and LCDs, the HV610, a 32-channel, serial-to-parallel converter, provides high-voltage, push-pull outputs in the realm of +50V/-40V. The chip’s outputs can be individually ...

Figure 1. 4:2:2 bit-serial digital distribution model. Click here to see an enlarged diagram. The 4:2:2 bit-parallel digital signal is distributed using a shielded twisted 12-pair (balanced) cable of ...

Getting data to a storage medium requires transmission. Parallel transmission has historically been the preferred way to write data to disk. But at current speeds, serial transmission can be faster ...
