ECE3073 Computer Systems Practice Questions Computer Interfaces

This document contains 4 practice questions about computer interfaces: 1) Describe the voltage level changes observed on an RS232 line when a character is transmitted. 2) For asynchronous serial communication with 8-bit data, 1 parity bit and 1.5 stop bits, the maximum clock error is 6.25%. 3) Explain that parity errors detect data errors, framing errors detect start/stop bits, overrun errors occur when data is lost, and baud rate is the transmission speed. 4) Complete I2C bus timing diagrams by showing the voltage levels for start, stop, a '1' data bit, and a '0' data bit.
