Logic analyzers capture digital signals and display state information, timing information, or both. When testing or troubleshooting electronic equipment, engineers use these instruments to extract ...

The floppy disk is a technology that is known only to the youth of today as the inspiration for the Save icon. There’s a lot of retro computing history tied up in these fragile platters, thus ...

Logic analyzers and oscilloscopes sit side by side on the digital designer's workbench. Even so, during design and debug, the two instruments usually function independently—except when designers need ...

Logic analyzers, long a mainstay of chip design, are finding new demand for IoT devices—and frequently in different forms than in the past. Once associated with big, bulky benchtop instruments, this ...

When the microprocessor and inexpensive ROM memory arrived in the early 1970s, building small, stored-program computing systems became practical. System designers learned that with the rapidly growing ...

For designers of telecommunications and wireless products, the challenge is to choose an appropriate mix of instruments for analysis and debug, and the move is to logic and protocol analyzers.

A frequent contributor to the hacker community, [stacksmashing] has prepared an excellent instructional video on reverse engineering Apple’s Lighting connector proprietary protocol. The video begins ...
