An assembly that processes up to 16 differential serial communication channels was designed using Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) components. The Trailblazer program needed a rapid and cost effective implementation for interfacing with large number of serial communications devices. The lack of available off-the-shelf serial communication assemblies in a 3U form factor with this capability was the motivation for this work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
