Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of communication protocols?

  • To define the format, timing, and sequence of data transfer
  • To ensure compatible and efficient communication between devices
  • To control errors during data transfer
  • All of the above (correct)

What is the primary difference between RS-232 and RS-485 communication protocols?

  • RS-232 is a synchronous protocol, while RS-485 is an asynchronous protocol
  • RS-232 is a half-duplex protocol, while RS-485 is a full-duplex protocol
  • RS-232 supports multiple devices on the same bus, while RS-485 supports only a single device
  • RS-232 is commonly used for connecting peripheral devices, while RS-485 is often used in industrial applications (correct)

Which of the following is a characteristic of the UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) protocol?

  • It is a multi-master, multi-slave, packet-switched serial communication protocol
  • It is a simple and widely used serial communication protocol commonly found in microcontrollers and other embedded systems (correct)
  • It is a synchronous serial communication interface
  • It is commonly used for connecting peripheral devices like mice, keyboards, and modems
