I/O Buses and Interfaces
 There are many “standards” for I/O buses and
interfaces
 Standards allow “open architectures”
 Many vendors can provide peripheral (I/O) devices
for many different systems
 Most systems support several I/O buses and
I/O interfaces
Examples
 Expansion buses or “slots”
 Disk interfaces
 External buses
 Communications interfaces
Expansion Buses
 These are “slots” on the motherboard

ISA (1 of 3)
 Industry Standard Architecture
 pronounced “eye-es-eh”
 History
 Originally introduced in the IBM PC (1981) as an 8 bit
expansion slot
 Runs at 8.3 MHz with data rate of 7.9 Mbytes/s
 16-bit version introduced with the IBM PC/AT
 Runs at 15.9 MHz with data rate of 15.9 Mbytes/s (?)
 Sometimes just called the “AT bus”
 Today, all ISA slots are 16 bit
 Configuration
 Parallel, multi-drop
p. 180
ISA (2 of 3)
 Used for…
 Just about any peripheral (sound cards, disk drives, etc.)
 PnP ISA
 In 1993, Intel and Microsoft introduced “PnP ISA”, for plug-
and-play ISA
 Allows the operating system to configure expansion boards
automatically
 Form factor




Large connector in two segments
Smaller segment is the 8-bit interface (36 signals)
Larger segment is for the 16-bit expansion (62 signals)
8-bit cards only use the smaller segment
ISA (3 of 3)
 Advancements
 EISA
 Extended ISA
 Design by nine IBM competitors (AST, Compaq, Epson, HP,
NEC, Olivetti, Tandy, WYSE, Zenith)
 Intended to compete with IBM’s MCA
 EISA is hardware compatible with ISA
 MCA
 Micro Channel Architecture
 Introduced by IBM in 1987 as a replacement for the AT/ISA bus
 EISA and MCA have not been successful!

64-bit bus capability
Usually implemented as a 32-bit bus
Runs at 33 MHz or 66 MHz
At 33 MHz and a 32-bit bus, data rate is 133 Mbytes/s
PCI Local Bus Specification:
 PCI version 1.0 was developed by Intel in 1991 but not released by a
Standards body.
 PCI revision 2.0; released in 1993; 32-bit, 33MHz bus.
 PCI revision 2.1; released in 1995; 32-bit, 33MHz / 64-bit, 66MHz,
Universal PCI for 3.3v or 5v cards
 PCI revision 2.2; released 1998; minor clarifications / enhancements.
 PCI revision 2.3; released in 2002; removed 5v only cards
 PCI revision 3.0; released in 20xx; removed 5 volt interfaces
altogether.
PCI-X: The latest version 64 bits
at: PCI-X 66, PCI-X 133, PCI-X 266
and PCI-X 533 [4.3GBps]
PCI express
 PCI Express is the new serial bus addition to the PCI series of
specifications. How ever the electrical and mechanical interface for
PCI Express is not compatible with the PCI bus interface. This is a
serial bus which uses two low-voltage differential LVDS pairs, at
2.5Gb/s in each direction [one transmit, and one receive pair]. A PCI
Express link is comprised of these two unidirectional differential
pairs each operating at 2.5Gbps to achieve a basic over all
throughput of 5Gbps [before accounting for over-head].
PCI Express Protocol
 The frame format for PCIe is shown in the graphic below. The frame
is made up of a 1-byte Start-of-Frame, 2-byte Sequence Number, 16
or 20-byte Header, 0 to 4096-byte Data field, 0 to 4-byte ECRC field,
4-byte LCRC, and 1-byte End-of Frame. The smaller the number of
bits transferred in the data field the greater the over-head becomes.
A zero byte data field results in a 100 percent over-head, because no
data was transferred.

(MB/s); 3.3 V signaling.

pumped to an effective 133 MHz resulting in a maximum data
rate of 533 MB/s; signaling voltages the same as AGP 1x.
AGP 4x, using a 32-bit channel operating at 66 MHz quad
pumped to an effective 266 MHz resulting in a maximum
data rate of 1066 MB/s (1 GB/s); 1.5 V signaling.
AGP 8x, using a 32-bit channel operating at 66 MHz,
strobing eight times per clock, delivering an effective 533
MHz resulting in a maximum data rate of 2133 MB/s (2 GB/s);
0.8 V signaling.

Serial Interfaces
 On PCs, a “serial interface” implies a “COM
port”, or “communications port”
 COM1, COM2, COM3, etc.
 COM ports conform to the RS-232C interface
standard, so…
RS-232C
 History
 Well-established standard, developed by the EIA
(Electronics Industry Association) in 1960s
 Originally intended as an electrical specification to
connect computer terminals to modems
 Defines the interface between a DTE and a DCE




DTE = Data Terminal Equipment (terminal)
DCE = Data Communications Equipment (modem)
A “modem” is sometimes called a “data set”
A “terminal” is anything at the “terminus” of the
connection
 VDT (video display terminal), computer, printer, etc.

RS-232C Specifications
 Data rate
 Maximum specified data rate is 20 Kbits/s with a
maximum cable length of 15 meters
 However…
 It is common to “push” an RS-232C interface to higher data
rates
 Data rates to 1 Mbit/s can be achieved (with short cables!)
 Configuration
 Serial, point-to-point
Serial Data Transmission
 Two modes
 Asynchronous
 The transmitting and receiving devices are not
synchronized
 A clock signal is not transmitted along with the data
 Synchronous
 The transmitting and receiving devices are
synchronized
 A clock signal is transmitted along with the data (and is
used to synchronized the devices)
 Most (but not all) RS-232C interfaces are
asynchronous!
Asynchronous Data
Transmission
 Data are transmitted on the TD (transmit data)
line in packets, typically, of 7 or 8 bits
 Each packet is “framed” by a “start bit” (0) at the
beginning, and a “stop bit” (1) at the end
 Optionally, a “parity bit” is inserted at the end of
the packet (before the stop bit)
 The parity bit establishes either “even parity” or
“odd parity” with the data bits in the packet
 E.g., even parity: the total number of bits “equal to 1”
(including the data bits and the parity bit) is an “even
number
1’s and 0’s in RS-232C
 A “1” is called a “mark”
 A “0” is called a “space”
 The idle state for an RS-232C line is a 1
(“mark”)
 Idle state is called “marking the line”
 Voltages on an RS-232C line
 Well… that’s another story, and it’s not really a
concern to us
Data Transmission Example

transmission of the ASCII character ‘a’ with

RS-232C Connectors
 The original standard specified a 25-pin
connector
 Today, a 9-pin connector is more common
 E.g.,
DB9P
Note:
•P = “pin”
•Sometimes called a “male” connector
•The mate for this is a DP25S, or
“socket” connector – the “female”

Universal Serial Bus (USB)
 A serial standard for connecting devices.
 Up to 127 devices can be connected to the
USB bus.
 USB current standard is USB 2.0 which
supports a transfer rate of 480Mbps.

USB
 The USB bus is a [Differential] Bi-directional serial
interface cable bus. Differential NRZI data is transmitted
Isochronous or Asynchronous between devices. Data is
transferred at three different rates over a maximum
cable length of 4 meters ~ over 4 wires, 2 of which carry
data on a balanced twisted pair.
 USB 3.0 (Super-Speed USB) increases the data rate to 4.8
Gbit/s, 600 MB/s. USB 3.0 ports and cabling are designed
to enable backward compatibility, so the new connector
and cable contains both a USB 3.0 interface and a USB
2.0 interface.
NRZ
 "A type of 'null' encoding, where a logical 'zero' is
represented by a particular line state, and a logical 'one'
by another. In other words, there is no encoding, as
distinct from RZ encoding." NRZ is used with RS-232 and
CANbus.

Checksum
•Checksum - Probably one of the oldest methods of ensuring that data is correct,
checksums also provide a form of authentication because an invalid checksum
suggests that the data has been compromised in some fashion. A checksum is
determined in one of two ways
1.If the sum of the other bytes in the packet is 255 or less, then the checksum
contains that exact value.
2.If the sum of the other bytes is more than 255, then the checksum is the
remainder of the total value after it has been divided by 256.
• Let's look at a checksum example:
•1,151 / 256 = 4.496 (round to 4)
•4 x 256 = 1,024
•1,151 - 1,024 = 127

CRC
 Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) - CRCs are similar in
concept to checksums, but they use polynomial division
to determine the value of the CRC, which is usually 16 or
32 bits in length. The good thing about CRC is that it is
very accurate. If a single bit is incorrect, the CRC value
will not match up. Both checksum and CRC are good for
preventing random errors in transmission but provide
little protection from an intentional attack on your data.
Symmetric- and public-key encryption techniques are
much more secure.
