For portable-sensing and data- acquisition applications, a laptop computer and its parallel port (LPT) make good bedfellows. Yet in the effort to extend battery life, many microprocessors and entire ...

This circuit uses the parallel port on the PC to interface to a MAX147 12bit, 8 channel A/D converter. By using the National LM4040AIM-4.1 reference, an accuracy of 0.1% is obtained. Each of the input ...

High-resolution temperature sensing at low cost is possible using only one chip attached to the PC's parallel port (Figure 1). The Dallas Semiconductor (www.dalsemi.com) DS1722 digital thermometer ...

STMicroelectronics (headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland) is promoting eveloped a pair of low-voltage, high-speed transceiver ICs that conform to the IEEE1284 bi-directional parallel port interface ...

With the continuing manufacture of new computers, there is a clear and obvious trend of the parallel port becoming less and less common. For our younger readers; the parallel port is an interface ...

In the olden days, plugging something into your computer—a mouse, a printer, a hard drive—required a zoo of cables. Maybe you needed a PS/2 connector or a serial port, the Apple Desktop Bus, or a DIN ...
