  2. Bus (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_(computing)

    Four PCI Express bus card slots (from top to second from bottom: ×4, ×16, ×1 and ×16), compared to a 32-bit conventional PCI bus card slot (very bottom). In computer architecture, a bus [1] (historically also called data highway [2] or databus) is a communication system that transfers data between components inside a computer, or between computers.

  3. ARINC 429 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARINC_429

    ARINC 429, [1] the "Mark 33 Digital Information Transfer System (DITS)," is the ARINC technical standard for the predominant avionics data bus used on most higher-end commercial and transport aircraft. [2] It defines the physical and electrical interfaces of a two-wire data bus and a data protocol to support an aircraft's avionics local area ...

  4. Databus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Databus

    Bus (computing), a communication system that transfers data between different components in a computer or between different computers Memory bus, a bus between the computer and the memory; PCI bus, a bus between motherboard and peripherals that uses the Peripheral Component Interconnect standard

  5. Inter-process communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter-process_communication

    A unidirectional data channel using standard input and output. Data written to the write-end of the pipe is buffered by the operating system until it is read from the read-end of the pipe. Two-way communication between processes can be achieved by using two pipes in opposite "directions". All POSIX systems, Windows Named pipe

  6. Control bus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_bus

    In computer architecture, a control bus is part of the system bus and is used by CPUs for communicating with other devices within the computer. While the address bus carries the information about the device with which the CPU is communicating and the data bus carries the actual data being processed, the control bus carries commands from the CPU and returns status signals from the devices.

  7. Serial Peripheral Interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Peripheral_Interface

    Data is still transmitted most-significant bit first, but SIO1 carries bits 7, 5, 3 and 1 of each byte, while SIO0 carries bits 6, 4, 2 and 0. This is particularly popular among SPI ROMs, which have to send a large amount of data, and comes in two variants: [ 23 ] [ 24 ]

  8. System bus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_bus

    A system bus is a single computer bus that connects the major components of a computer system, combining the functions of a data bus to carry information, an address bus to determine where it should be sent or read from, and a control bus to determine its operation. The technique was developed to reduce costs and improve modularity, and ...

  9. Parallel communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_communication

    Creating a parallel port in a computer system is relatively simple, requiring only a latch to copy data onto a data bus. In contrast, most serial communication must first be converted back into parallel form by a universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) before they may be directly connected to a data bus.
