Concept of Bus: Presented By: Er. Gaurab Mishra Department of Computer (K.M.C)

The document discusses the concept of a computer bus. A bus is a data communication path that transmits information between computer components. It consists of wires, chips, and slots that allow transmission of data from one part of the computer to another. Buses can be internal, connecting components on the motherboard, or external, connecting peripherals. Buses carry either data, addresses of components, or control signals and include different types like data buses, address buses, and control buses.

Concept of Bus

Presented by : Er. Gaurab Mishra


Department of Computer ( K.M.C)
Definition
• A bus is a data communication path over which bits of information are
transmitted between the various computer components.
• Is a collection of wires, chips and slots inside the computer through which
the data are transmitted from one part of the computer to another part of
the computer.
• The CPU has to send various data , instructions and information to all the
devices and components inside the computer as well as to different
peripherals.

BUS
• This network of wires or electronic pathway is commonly known as
system bus.
• It helps the various parts of the PC communicate.

BUS
• According to the connection of components inside and outside the board ,
Basically bus can be divided into 2 different types:
1. Internal ( System) Bus
2. External ( Expansion) Bus

BUS
• Internal Bus connects the different components inside the computer
system – CPU, system memory and all other components on the
motherboard.
• External Bus connects the different external devices , peripherals,
expansion slots, I/O ports and drive connections to the rest of the
computer.

Types
• Depending on the type of information carried, Bus can be divide into 3
types
1. Data Bus
2. Address Bus
3. Control Bus

Data Bus
• It is a group of conducting wires that carries data only.
• Data bus is bidirectional because data flows in both directions i.e from
processor to memory or input/output devices or from memory or
input/output devices to processor.
• The no of lines in data bus affect the speed of data transfer between
different components.

Data Bus
• The data bus width includes 8 bit, 16 bit, 32 bit and 64 bit. The wider the
bus width , faster would be the data flow .
• A 64 bit bus can transfer 64 bits of data at one time.

Address Bus
• It is a group of conducting wires that carries address only.
• It is Unidirectional because data flows in only one direction i.e from
processor to memory or input/output devices.
• An address is defined as a label , symbol or other set of characters used to
designate a location where the information is stored.

Address Bus
• It carries memory address within the device.
• Allow the CPU to reference memory locations within the device.
• If a component wants to connect with another component, it uses the
address bus to specify the address of that component.

Control Bus
• The control bus is used by the CPU to direct and monitor the actions of
the other functional areas of the computer.
• It is used to provide all the timing and control signals associated with the
system.
• It is Unidirectional from CPU to other components.
• Eg: Read , Write , Acknowledge , Interrupt .
