Q

an older parallel interface primarily used for connecting hard disk drives and CD/DVD drives to computers.

A

IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics)

17
Q

data transmission is two-way on a single channel. This means that the direction of
data transmission alternates, so that the system would be able to receive or transmit, but not both at the same time.

A

Half-Duplex

18
Q

the information is transferred one bit at a time (a serial bitstream). Only a
single interconnection is used to carry the data itself, although other lines are usually included for synchronization and control.

A

Serial data transfer

19
Q

A simple method for error checking. In which a bit is added and transmitted with the data.

A

parity checking

20
Q

metal wires, typically copper, are used to transmit the electrical signal.

A

21
Q

Its common applications is the legacy computer serial ports, console
connections, modems, and some industrial equipment.

A

RS-232

22
Q

Electrical signaling is differential signaling (two wires: A and B) for
noise immunity and long-distance communication. The connector type
can use various connectors, including twisted pair or screw terminals.
Common applications is in Industrial automation, HVAC systems,
long-distance communication, and multi-node networks.
