∙ 11y agoA unidirectional bus is a bus which either only sends data OR only receives data.
An example of this is the control bus within the processor.

Is a data bus unidirectional or bidirectional?
The control bus is a unidirectional bus because it can receive the data from any kind of inputs and send back the output. This whole process is done by the data buses.
Diff by the way unidirectional buffer and bidirectional buffer?
A bi-directional buffer includes first and second unidirectional buffers connected for retransmitting signals in opposite directions between first and second buses. When an external bus driver pulls the first bus low, the first unidirectional buffer pulls the second bus low and generates a signal inhibiting the second unidirectional buffer from actively driving the first bus. When the external bus driver allows the first bus to return to the high logic level, the first unidirectional buffer temporarily supplies a high charging current to the second bus to quickly pull it up. Similarly, when an external bus driver pulls the second bus low, the second unidirectional buffer pulls the first bus low and generates a signal inhibiting the first unidirectional buffer from actively driving the second bus. When the external bus driver allows the second bus to return to the high logic level, the second buffer temporarily supplies a high charging current to the first bus to quickly pull it up. The bi-directional buffer includes a register for storing and reading out data representing successive logic states of a signal on the first bus, thereby providing a history of data appearing on the bus
What is the difference between unidirectional buffer and bidirectional buffer?
Unidirectional buffer allows data to flow in only one direction, either from input to output or from output to input. Bidirectional buffer allows data to flow in both directions, enabling communication between two devices or systems bidirectionally.
What is a sentence for unidirectional?
Unidirectional - Unidirectional Unidirectional Unidirectional Unidirectional Unidirectional Unidirectional Unidirectional Unidirectional Unidirectional ! HAHA :)
Why is data bus bidirectional but address bus is unidirectional?
since data can be read /write from/to the microprocessor, hence data bus is bidirectional. if data is required read from microprocessor then it will be pointing to a memory location by the address bus, by indicating which location data its required to read. similarly to write a data to a location, again the microprocessor will be to that particular location by holding that address in address bus. hence it will be unidirectional.
Why is data bus bidirectional but address bus unidirectional?
The address bus is unidirectional becos address information is always given by microprocessor to i/o devices. The data bus is bidirectional bcos it takes the data from other devices & also give the data to other i/o devices
What is the direction of information flow on the the address and data bus?
The address bus is unidirectional(only in one direction) in the processor. So, the flow of information on this bus is from the microprocessor to the attached device(memory module).
How do you use unidirectional in a sentence?
The unidirectional flow of traffic on the highway made it easier for drivers to navigate.
Is unidirectional a noun?
No, "unidirectional" is not a noun. It is an adjective that describes something moving or operating in one direction.
What is an antonym of unidirectional?
An antonym of unidirectional (one direction) would be omnidirectional (all directions).
Is the Sony ECM-HGZ1 a unidirectional microphone?
Yes it can be used as a unidirectional microphone if needed.
