(1) The primary pathway between the CPU and memory. The speed is derived from the number of parallel channels (16 bit, 32 bit, etc.) and clock speed. Also known as a "frontside bus," it is faster than ...

In computing terms, system buses are used to connect various components to the motherboard's core logic and, often, to each other. Modern PCs run with a multitude of high-speed buses ranging from the ...

Silicon densities, both for ASICs and FPGAs, can now support true systems-on-a-chip (SoCs). This level of design requires busing systems to connect various components ...

Processor Local Bus (PLB) General processor local bus Synchronous, nonmultiplexed bus Separate Read, Write data buses Supports concurrent Read, Writes Multimaster, programmable-priority, arbitrated ...

Embedded system designers have a choice of using a shared or point-to-point bus in their designs. Typically, an embedded design will have a general purpose processor, cache, SDRAM, DMA port, and ...
