A device used to enter data into a computer. It may refer to a one-way handheld data terminal used for data collection; however, "input terminal" often refers to an input/output terminal, in which a ...

If you’ve worked with circuit simulation, you may have run into IBIS models. The acronym is input/output buffer information, and while you can do a lot without having to deal with IBIS, knowing about ...

A microprocessor needs to interact with the outside world. That includes communication with other microprocessors through communication protocols like I2C, SPI, and SCI etc. It also needs to ...

Some applications require a positive voltage to be generated from a negative input voltage. This can be done either by using a transformer based topology, such as a flyback converter, or with a ...
