Overview

As more and more equipment is interface or'bus' driven, either by the use of controllers or directly from PCs, the question of which bus to use is becoming increasingly important both in industry and in the office. 'Computer Busses' has been designed to help choose the best type of bus for the particular application.

There are several books which cover individual busses, but none which provide a complete guide to computer busses. The author provides a basic theory of busses and draws examples and applications from real bus case studies. Busses are analysed using from a top-down approach, helping the undergraduate electrical or computer engineer to chose the right type of bus for their particular application. This book is essential reading for students of software engineering and electronic design, as well as for those working in disciplines such as production engineering or process control. It will also be a handy reference book for professional engineers, systems designers, consultants and those working in technical support.

Provides a complete guide to computer busses Contains application-specific programme examples Plenty of real-life case studies

Computer busses provide the mechanism for the orderly flow of data over required channels and are thus integral to the proper working of a computer. This textbook discusses the engineering aspects of PC interfaces, local busses, instrumentation busses, network busses, and bus programming and protocols. Co-published in Britain by Arnold.
