Connection standards Flashcards
RS-232:
Synchronous or Asynchronous?
Asynchronous transmission
RS-232:
Full duplex or Half duplex or Simplex?
Full duplex
RS-232:
How do the clock signals operate?
Each device has an independent clock
RS-232:
What are the baud rates?
> 14.4 kbits/s
28.8 kbits/s
56 kbits/s
RS-232:
What defines the speed it operates at?
Speeds are greater when the connection distance is shorter
RS-232:
What is the data transfer protocol?
> Data is sent in 8-bit frames (packets)
To start a transmission a 1 bit is sent
A stop 0 bit is sent at the end of each byte followed by a pause
RS-232:
What are the voltage levels?
+15V > Logic - 0 > +5V
-15V < Logic - 1 < -5V
What is the difference between RS-232 and UART?
> They are the same but a lot of the RS-232 standards are ignored for UART
Voltage levels are flexible
Longer frames/packets are allowed
Can connect to USBs
RS-232:
What are the data lines?
Tx - Transmission
Rx - Recieving
I2C:
Synchronous or Asynchronous?
Synchronous
I2C:
Full duplex or Half duplex or Simplex?
Half-duplex
I2C:
What are the data lines?
> SCL = Clock
SDA = Data line
GND = Ground
I2C:
What type of outputs Circuits are used? How does this work?
> Open-collector bus digital outputs.
> Any device can pull the data line low
I2C:
How many devices can be connected to the bus?
More than 2
I2C:
What is the device higherarchy?
> One master device
> Multiple slave devices
