We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Profibus",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Compact transceivers offer robust performance from
Intersil, which we summarised at the time by saying "Parallel networks, like SCSI 'fast 40' systems, benefit from the 40Mbit/s data rate and the low transceiver and receiver skews, as well as the 4nS part-to-part skews".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release COM Express module hosts network development from
Freescale Semiconductor: "All-in-one platform for industrial markets leverages Power Architecture technology in the COM Express form factor".
In May 2007, we covered the news from Sipex Corporation
- take a look at Analogue market slowness hits Sipex
which says: "Sipex Corp has reported fiscal first quarter operating results, with net sales of US $16.9 million, down 11% from the fourth quarter of 2006".
Take a look also at the news release from Harting, Coaxial connector suits industrial applications,
as well as Transceivers for Profibus field bus from Sipex Corporation,
and Serial transceivers output more from less from Intersil.
