Computer I/O Interfaces and Data Transfer Techniques
Understanding Computer I/O Interfaces
The input/output (I/O) interface provides a method for transferring information between internal storage devices and external I/O peripherals. Peripherals connected to a computer require a special communication link to operate as an interface with the Central Processing Unit (CPU). The purpose of this communication link is to resolve the differences and focus the computer’s attention on each peripheral. The main differences are:
- Electromechanical vs. Electronic
