Bus and Cards
Buses - a path through which data can be sent to the different parts
of the computer system.
 Two different parts of a Bus
 Address bus -transfers information about where the data should
go
 Data bus -transfers the actual data.
 Bus width is the size of the bus lines.
 It determines the number of bits that the computer
can transmit at one time (say, one clock cycle).
 eg: a 32-bit bus can transmit 32 bits at a time.
 the larger the bus width, the faster the transmission.

Examples
 Expansion buses or slots
 Disk interfaces/Buses
 External buses
 Communications buses

Expansion Buses
 These are slots on the motherboard
 Examples
 ISA  Industry Standard Architecture
 PCI  Personal Component Interconnect
 EISA  Extended ISA
 SIMM  Single Inline Memory Module
 DIMM  Dual Inline Memory Module
 MCA  Micro-Channel Architecture
 AGP  Accelerated Graphics Port
 VESA  Video Electronics Standards Association
 PCMCIA  Personal Computer Memory Card International
Association (not just memory!)

Disk Interfaces
 Examples
 ATA  AT Attachment (named after IBM PC-AT)
 IDE  Integrated Drive Electronics (same as ATA)
 Enhanced IDE
 Encompasses several older standards (ST-506/ST-412, IDE, ESDI,
ATA-2, ATA-3, ATA-4)
 SCSI  Small Computer Systems Interface
 ESDI  Enhanced Small Device Interface (mid-80s,
obsolete)
 PCMCIA

External Buses
 Examples
 Parallel  sometimes called LPT (line printer)
 Serial  typically RS232C (sometimes RS422)
 PS/2  for keyboards and mice
 USB  Universal Serial Bus
 IrDA  Infrared Device Attachment
 FireWire  new, very high speed, developed by
IEEE
7
Communications Buses
 For connecting systems to systems
 Parallel/LPT
 special purpose, e.g., using special software
(Laplink) to transfer data between systems
 Serial/RS232C
 To connect a system to a voice-grade modem
 Ethernet
 To connect a system to a high-speed network

1 Processor and fan
Graphics card handles its own processing making it
almost independent of the processor.
2 Board connector AGP or PCI-Express
3 Memory
Graphics card has its own memory. This makes it much
faster. Most new cards use DDR3 memory.
4 DVI connector Digital output is supplied through this port.
5 VGA connector Analogue output is provided through this port.
Graphics card

Cards
Graphic card - screen images are made up of dots
called pixels (picture elements). The graphics card
must process each of these pixels to create the image.
The resolution of a screen is the number of pixels
being displayed. Typical resolutions include:
 800 x 600 - 480,000 pixels
 1024 x 768 - 786,432 pixels
 1280 x 1024: - 1,310,720 pixels
 1600 x 1200: - 1,920,000 pixels

Sound card
1 PCI connector Connects the sound card to a PCI slot
2 MIDI socket
Musical Instrument Digital Interface port is used
to connect digital musical instruments to the
computer.
3 Audio jacks
These are used to connect microphones, speakers,
stereo systems etc to the computer.

Cards
 allows computers join a network. Can be wired
or wireless. The standard used is called
Ethernet - covers wired and wireless
networks.
The wired standards include:
 Fast Ethernet - transmission speed of
100Mbps.
 Gigabyte Ethernet - transmission speed of
1000Mbps.
PCI PC card USB
Network card
12
Cards
The wireless standards include:
 The B standard - introduced in 1999, it has
a transmission rate of 11Mbps and a range of
30 Metres.
 The G standard - introduced in 2003, it has
a transmission rate of 54Mbps and a range of
30 Metres.
 The N standard - introduced in 2006, it has
a transmission speed of 540Mbps and a
range of 50 metres.
PCI PC Card USB 13
Cards
Replaces floppy drives in new computers. They can
read media cards from most digital cameras:
 Microdrive:
 Smartmedia:
 SD memory card:
 Memory stick/Duo/Pro:
 xD picture card:
Card readers
Card reader drive
