Busclassification

Buscanbedividedintofivemajortypesaccordingtofunctionsandspecifications:

• DataBus:TransferdatathatneedstobeprocessedorneedstobestoredbackandforthbetweenCPUandRAM.

• AddressBus:UsedtospecifytheaddressofthedatastoredinRAM(RandomAccessMemory).

• ControlBus:Transmitthesignalofthemicroprocessorcontrolunit(ControlUnit)toperipheralequipment.

• ExpansionBus:Thebusfordatacommunicationbetweenexternaldevicesandthecomputerhost,suchasISAbusandPCIbus.

• LocalBus:Anexpansionbusthatreplaceshigher-speeddatatransmission.

ThedatabusDB(DataBus), oratio AB(AddressBus) and controlbusCB(ControlBus)are etiam collective refertur ad systema, quod est theus, de quo supra.

Insomesystems,thedatabusandtheaddressbusaremultiplexed,thatis,thesignalthatappearsonthebusatcertainmomentsrepresentsdataandothermomentsrepresentaddresses;andsomesystemsareseparate.Theaddressbusanddatabusofthe51seriessingle-chipmicrocomputeraremultiplexed,whilethebusinthegeneralPCisseparate.

"DataBusDB"isusedtotransmitdatainformation.Thedatabusisatwo-waythree-statebus,thatis,itcantransmitdatafromtheCPUtoothercomponentssuchasamemoryorI/Ointerface,andcanalsotransmitdatafromothercomponentstotheCPU.Thenumberofbitsofthedatabusisanimportantindicatorofthemicrocomputer,anditisusuallyconsistentwiththewordlengthofthemicro-processing.Forexample,thewordlengthoftheIntel8086microprocessoris16bits,anditsdatabuswidthisalso16bits.Itshouldbepointedoutthatthemeaningofdataisbroad.Itcanberealdata,instructioncodeorstatusinformation,andsometimesevencontrolinformation.Therefore,inactualwork,whatistransmittedonthedatabusisnotnecessarilyIt'sjustdatainthetruesense.

Communidata sunt ISA (ISAbus), EISA, VESA, PCI, etc.

"AddressbusAB"isspeciallyusedtotransmitaddresses.SincetheaddresscanonlybetransmittedfromtheCPUtotheexternalmemoryorI/Oport,theaddressbusisalwaysone-waythree-state,whichisdifferentfromthedataThebusisdifferent.ThenumberofbitsoftheaddressbusdeterminesthesizeofthememoryspacethatcanbedirectlyaddressedbytheCPU.Forexample,iftheaddressbusofan8-bitmicrocomputeris16bits,themaximumaddressablespaceis2^16=64KB,andthe16-bitmicrocomputer(x-bitprocessingThedevicereferstothenumberofbits(1,0)thatthemicroprocessorcanhandleinoneclockcycle,thatis,thewordlength).Theaddressbusis20bits,anditsaddressablespaceis2^20=1MB.Generallyspeaking,iftheaddressbushasnbits,theaddressablespaceis2^nbytes.

"ControlbusCB"isusedtotransmitcontrolsignalsandtimingsignals.SomeofthecontrolsignalsaresentbythemicroprocessortothememoryandI/Ointerfacecircuits,suchasread/writesignals,chipselectsignals,interruptresponsesignals,etc.;therearealsoothercomponentsthatarefedbacktotheCPU,suchasinterruptrequestsignals,resetSignals,busrequestsignals,equipmentreadysignals,etc.Therefore,thetransmissiondirectionofthecontrolbusisdeterminedbythespecificcontrolsignal,(information)isgenerallybidirectional,andthenumberofbitsofthecontrolbusshouldbedeterminedaccordingtotheactualcontrolneedsofthesystem.Infact,thespecificsituationofthecontrolbusmainlydependsontheCPU.

Accordingtothewayoftransmittingdata,itcanbedividedintoserialbusandparallelbus.Intheserialbus,thebinarydataissenttothedestinationdevicethroughadatalinebitbybit;thedatalinesoftheparallelbususuallyexceedtwo.CommonserialbusesincludeSPI,I2C,USBandRS232.

Accordingtowhethertheclocksignalisindependent,itcanbedividedintoasynchronousbusandanasynchronousbus.Theclocksignalofthesynchronousbusisindependentofthedata,whiletheclocksignaloftheasynchronousbusisextractedfromthedata.SPIandI2Caresynchronousserialbuses,andRS232usesasynchronousserialbuses.
