Is compact-flash an example of a peripheral device attached to the computer's internal bus?

yes it is


What is the transmission protocol between a computer and a peripheral device?

The way a computer communicates with a peripheral device is through a device driver. A device driver is a low level computer program that allows higher level programs to communicate with a hardware device connected to the computer bus. Device drivers are hardware dependent and specific to an operating system.


What does the USB in USB Port stand for?

USB stands for Universal Serial Bus and is a standard means for connecting devices such as flash memory, printers, cameras etc. to a computer.


What bus allows processors to communicate with peripherals?

We have on a motherboard called a input/output device. There are multiple of types, but the most common are PS/2, DVI, and USB. There are wires connected to the device called a Bus. The bus sends data to the processor where it is interpreted as data.


What is the purpose for data bus?

Like an information highway, data buses are used to connect to components to allow for high-speed communication and data transferral. For example, USB (Universal Serial Bus) is the most common external bus, and is used to connect many devices to the computer, and operates at about 480mbit in the case of USb2.0. Other buses, such as AMD's HyperTransport bus operate at 2000 MHz or more, and can transfer 16 GB/s (or 128gbit) and is used to connect the CPU to most other components such as the Northbridge, Southbridge, Videocard, PCI devices, etc.

What is tristate bus and how it used in microprocessor?

In Microprocessor based system devices are connected n parallel through the bus in this situation it is required that one device is interact with the bus at a time .If more than one device make communication wid bus then more then one signal is places that they will produce damaging current known as Bus Contention.To avoid bus contention tristate buffer are placed between buses and peripheral...

Why data bus is bidirectional bus?

The data bus is used to read or write (hence bi-directional) to the data location selected by the address written on the address bus. You only need to write (one-way) to the address bus to select the data location. It does not make sense to read from the address bus.


What is a USB to serial converter?

Most serial adapters can be found on computers and they connect the monitor/screen to the actual computer itself. A serial adapter may also be used to connect your television to your laptop. In this case, you would connect the usb part to your television port where it is marked USB and the serial adapter part to your computer.


How would you explain PCI bus architecture?

Peripheral component interconnect(PCI) is a high band width processor independent bus. It is the most widely used hardware interface for connecting the peripheral devices.


What part of a computer is a video card plugged into?

A video card is plugged into an expansion slot on the peripheral bus. The exact type of peripheral bus slot varies according to the type of motherboard used. Originally, video cards were plugged into an ISA slot. Eventually they went in PCI slots, then AGP slots, and today, PCI-Express slots. Regardless of the type of peripheral bus interface, the peripheral bus connects peripheral cards, also called expansion boards, with the system chipset.


Is serial peripheral bus a bus or protocol?

S.P.I (Serial Peripheral Interace Bus) is an 8-bit data link bus. the name was first coined by motorola - true story!


What are expansion buses?

An expansion bus is made up of electronic pathways which move information between the code of a computer system, including the CPU and RAM, and peripheral devices. It is a collection of wires and protocols that allows for the expansion of a computer


Why do you need bus?

The success of the computer is due largely to its ability to expand and grow to meet the changing needs and/or economics of its user in computer field buses are used for transferring information from one device or peripheral to another and it sends all your information from peripherals to the CPU. there are some common types of buses below memory bus CPU bus Cache bus local I/O bus standard I/O bus etc.
