Computer Hardware and System Architecture

Data Buses

A bus is a digital system that transfers data between computer components. It consists of wires or tracks on a printed circuit board, often including resistors, capacitors, and integrated circuits.

• Parallel Bus: Data bytes are sent simultaneously using multiple lines with fixed functions. This allows for high data volume at moderate frequencies, proportional to the bus width.
• Serial Bus: Data is sent bit-by-bit and reconstructed via registers or software routines. It uses fewer drivers, and bandwidth depends heavily on the frequency.
