Study Notes

Input/Output Interface

The purpose of the Input/Output Interface is to connect devices to the computer and facilitate communication between them.

Devices Connected Online

Devices connected to the computer online include keyboards, mice, scanners, printers, and monitors.

Peripherals vs. CPU and Memory

A major difference between peripherals and the CPU and memory is that peripherals are external devices, whereas the CPU and memory are internal components of the computer.

Synchronization Mechanism

A synchronization mechanism may be needed between peripherals and the CPU to ensure that data is transmitted and received correctly, as peripherals operate at different speeds and may send or receive data at different times.

I/O Subsystem Function

The primary function of the I/O Subsystem of a computer is to manage the flow of data between devices and the computer, enabling efficient and accurate data exchange.
